I bought a really nice, high quality, very fast charging and data transfer cable, and there’s one device I own that it will not charge at all. My assumption is that it probably doesn’t have a charging control chip or something else required to work with that cable. It doesn’t work with any other USB-C to C cables I own either. It has to be charged with the USB-A to C cables included in the box

The cable that comes with the original Nintendo switch is weird. Point blank will not charge things except the switch, I have no idea why Nintendo would care to limited like that.

Likewise, I have a speaker thing (w-king brand) that will only charge off USB A to C, and will not charge off any USB C power supply
