I typically use the Apple 12W charger to play and recharge while undocked, but I noticed that it is not powerful enough to maintain a full charge while "docked" with this adapter. Over the course of an hour of exploring in Breath of the Wild, the console went from 100% to 90%. The console recharges normally while "docked" and asleep. I tried a similar test with my wife's Apple 29W (MacBook) USB-C PD charger and official cable and it seemed to work fine and maintain an 100% charge. Finally, I briefly tested it with a lower-spec'd generic cable and the aforementioned 12W charger to see what would happen: I believe it must have only been delivering 5W total with that setup but regardless of the technical details, gameplay was noticeably laggy and battery life decreased noticeably faster... but this adapter still output a signal!
All in all, maybe I just got lucky and received an adapter from a good batch, but I'm glad I bit the bullet and decided to try it out!
However this comes with one major caveat: the switch WILL discharge if you use a phone charger like I do. Like, you'll play fine on the TV, but you'll notice the battery level slowly decreasing. However, it's very slow, and as soon as you put the switch to sleep mode, it'll charge back up. Plus this doesn't apply to all games, only to the graphically intensive ones. This is not surprising, after all the switch was always meant to run at 15V (18W) when docked, and you're only delivering 7.5-10W with a typical phone charger.
It's also small and convenient, and has 1 USB port. I could not ask for anything more. I haven't tried it with other devices, but if it works as advertised, that's a bonus!
In my case, An error screen appeared after I updated my switch and connected it to this adapter, it said that I had to restart my switch but after I did that, the console stopped working and won’t show anything else besides the switch logo, even if I wait for hours.
As this adapter won’t work anymore because of the risk of breaking the nintendo switch nobody should ever buy this and also, as it doesn’t work as it said it would I’d like to ask for a refund, or to ask FastSnail to pay for any inconvenience this product may cause to me and to every other switch owner out there, stating the warranty FastSnail placed at the product page that says “If you are not 100% happy with our product for any reason, please contact us. No questions. No charge. No kidding. FastSnail provide 12-Month Worry-Free Warranty and Unconditional 45-Day Refund & Free Lifetime Technical Support.”
Thanks

I gave it four stars because it arrived later (I think 1-2 days later) than the projected arrival date.
