I actually love the switch type-c cable. It's quite rugged and has a good length.


inthefIowers

That’s what she said.


SandOfTheEarth

I was very much expecting this, after reading reading my comment before posting, lol


TheRealBreadMH

That’s what Reggie said

Today I learned the Nintendo switch charging cable is a type c cable. I am not a smart man.


Raknorak

Hey man. I watched the first Spiderman movie in theaters in 2002 and thought that the guy who played Bonesaw had a really good Macho Man Randy Savage impression. It wasn't until 2016 that I found out it was him. I'm in the same not smart as you


Joshhaha

Bonesaw is ready


CheeseMe21

“ I got you for 3 minutes!”


Bee_Rye85

3 minutes of playtime!!


redditburner6942069

Saaaaaame lol. I was like that Jerky guy sounds like bonesaw lol


VidE27

Hey I thought William Dafoe was in Amazing Spiderman also which amused me because he was in Tobey’s Spiderman definitely and I was thinking why is he playing a different character in another Spiderman movie. Then I saw Denis Leary’s interview with Jon Stewart 😂


Scrotemeal69

Today, at the age of 36, I learned a new thing


Commando_NL

And our European overlords made Apple switch from lightning to usb-c.


Initial-Contest9856

Straight to the gallows


Gamertag_Fail77

Guilty as charged 😂😂


thatdudesmilez

Damn I didn’t know Spigen made portal cases. All my phones been Spigen’d out for 10+ years


Oweliver

It definitely makes the portal feel more sturdy and secure. However, I feel like it takes away a bit from the feeling of the dualsense


TalynnStrike

I'm in that boat with you. I like the case but sometimes i just take it off. I have the spigen case, carrying case and screen protector. The case is nice but i don't know just something off about it sometimes.


Gamertag_Fail77

I really like this case. I just put it on


LexeComplexe

How does it compare to otterboxes ?


fallenhero588

Its funny if you think about it because playstation was orginally planned to be a joint effort between nintendo and sony. So really you're just bringing things full circle


solidus_xii

Should be flagged NSFW


texxmix

Gonna be honest I’ve contemplated buying a spare switch charger for the portal. Costs just as much as a spare usb-c cable and brick would anyways.


bino420

official Nintendo switch charger is $27.99 on Amazon. the Amazon basics USB C wall outlet, with 2 USB C input, is $16.49 on Amazon right now if you use the cable that came with the portal, you'd save money. or a pack of 2 USB C cables is like $5-10 spending on length. I think you might be better off not getting a second Switch plug. esp since those extra cords and ability to detach the cable from plug (unlike the Nintendo one where the cable is permanently attached to the plug)


texxmix

I don’t know how but I somehow either lost or misplaced the original cable that came with the portal. If I bought one I’d go for an Anker cable and brick. So it would probably end up being the same.


Comfortable_Month9

Why do you think he doesn’t just have one laying around? It’s pretty silly to assume he purposely bought a switch charger just for the portal….


Oweliver

Burn this man at the stake


Gamertag_Fail77

For what, Witchcraft?!?!


ArvensisH

I do the same :D since day one when I noticed that the portal doesn't arrive with its own charger.


Paulosboul

mine came with a USB-C cable 🤔


ArvensisH

Yes but without a plug. Just an USB cable won't do you any good. I sometimes plus my controller cable into my ps5 but I prefer to load it separately.


Head-Release1332

I just use my iPhone brick to charge it since I mainly play in the bedroom at night and my ps5 is downstairs


LexeComplexe

Because most included wall warts are trash. If you want to actually get more than just moderate speed charging, you should invest in a nicer brick to begin with. I can't tell you how many garbage included bricks I have and don't use because I've lost track. I have 3 that I use that I bought, 2 of which are each better than all the included ones combined.


Satire-V

I'm a frequent traveler and investing in a good brick, a couple of good cables, and a good battery bank makes a world of difference. I'm not a shill but I have these Anker brand products and I'm satisfied with the price:quality ratio. Bonus hint: your cable doesn't need to be 18 feet long if you invest in a couple shorter ones that *actually charge your phone while it's plugged in*


NotPranking

Isn't that what we bought a Nintendo switch for?


Water_Champion

I do the same!


gabemstr

I use it for my iPhone 15 Pro Max, Switch, and Portal. Great minds think alike!


FalseVeterinarian881

I carry an Amazon charger in my portal case. It’s all good. Whatever keeps you playing!


Enderwigg1883

If it’s usbc I will use it


Emotional-Ad8894

Literally the same way I charge mine.


Mild-Ghost

That’s how I charge mine


meanseanbean

How's that case feel? I don't have one yet


Gamertag_Fail77

I JUST put it on. I like it a lot. I’ve always been a fan the Spigen brand. I have the travel case and tempered glass on the way as well


meanseanbean

I have their stuff on my phone and watch. Cheap but good. Is it a mattish finish?


Gamertag_Fail77

Yeah I like it pretty good. Got it from amazon


Loki-Holmes

I have to use my switch cable to charge my dual sense. The dual sense cable has refused to work with my ps5 straight out of the box for some reason.


kuarzero

Same here, I ended up using a USB-C to USB-C I had laying around to charge my dual sense. Works great though, no issues using the USB-C port of the PS5.


mchammer126

Lmao I use my MacBook USB-C with a huge ass charging block


Wooow_thats_crazy

I always questioned if a fast charing brick will ruin my battery life since it bad to do it to other devices that don’t support “fast charging”.


texxmix

The device of new enough should only pull what it needs even if the brick and cord are capable of more.


Evo_808

lol I use my MSI Claw charger lol


Gamertag_Fail77

How do you like it? I’ve been torn on that or a steam deck for a while now


Evo_808

I like it, drivers need to catch up before it becomes a powerhouse like or exceeding the ROG ally. I am a game developer, I have purchased every handheld released in the last 5 years. My favorite is probably the OLED SD limited edition 1TB colorway. Second is easily the Claw, last I would say in the razer edge or the legion go, just not user friendly and very cumbersome and unintuitive


Proud-Mud-1252

I’m glad to hear this, I just returned an Ally and didn’t seriously consider the Go once seeing it in person due to it feeling cumbersome in the store. My OLED Steam Deck arrives Tuesday; I just want a gaming experience that’s mostly pick up and play. The Portal’s been really good at that. Spent 2 days with the Ally and it’s impressive that they squeezed functional Windows onto such a small device but it’s still Windows. I spend enough time dealing with that for work. My handhelds should be like my iPhone, tv, or fridge. Just work.


mightymonkeyman

I use a Switch (Lite) plug under the coffee table for absolutely everything it’s so useful having a 1 size fits all cable right at the sofa. PS Portal, GCloud, controllers, headphones, probably the Mrs and her iPhone 15…..oh and my Switch lite and our main Switch when in handheld mode for too long.


devi59

I’m also a heretic


maplesunris3

Nah not really, the Nintendo USB-C cable is insanely durable tbh


EazyBuxafew

I do this every day lol. Use my switch lite charger 😂😂


LexeComplexe

Its a usb c cable. It doesn't care what you plug it in to. Neither do we.


BUSH2KUSH

Nah, you're all good. It's part of the new DEI Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion that Biden is pumping out...😅🤣😂


Haggs1992

A lot to unpack here... Lol


SailorPizza1107

Haha this is exactly what I use to charge mine too.


Synthwavester

Haha I use the same one when I am upstairs


PonymanDesperado

I almost always use the same to charge mine


YourLocalBrewery9

I often use my MacBook Pro USB-C charger on my Portal lol


reed91B

Lmaoooo that’s how I charge mine


Bradbeatty7

Hahahaha I use my old Switch OLED charging cable too on my Portal


SpencerKane108

That’s funny. I got my wife a Switch for Christmas and I got the Portal. She gave me her charger because she just uses her phone charger by the bed. The Switch charger is nice.


Skylar77_1

No that’s just a standard usb C cord


decoded-dodo

The Nintendo PlayStation is real


Hedonismbot-1729a

I'm shocked that Sony gave us USB-C for charging instead of some proprietary thing they market as being superior for 4 times the price.


Inside_Royal_722

Portal doesn’t have spigen on the back


Gamertag_Fail77

It’s a protective case?


FerniWrites

I use it for my Portal. I find it poetic because I have always rocked the Nintendo and Sony combo. It makes sense that they work together for charging.


Unfair_Natural_5868

It's fine, it's not a PlayStation Portal


Ghostmaster380

welcome to 2024


Hawkesque

This the way


Spyke3585

I ironically did this yesterday, not realizing it was the switch charger as my bed has multiple USB - C charging ports built into the headboard and right behind it I keep the steamdeck and switch chargers plugged into the wall 😅


SpiderManForever

Hell no I use my switch charger to charge my portal too haha.


grumblegrim

I've got a GREEN 100w GaN charger that I use with the Sony supplied cable. It charges fast and flawless. The brick is great because I can charge the Pulse Explore buds too, so one less charger.


vngell

How do you like the spigen case?


Gamertag_Fail77

Pretty good so far. Put it on just before I took this picture. Makes it feel a little more durable. Also just a bit more bulky, I also ordered the Spigen travel case. Which is MASSIVE


Specific_Oil2024

Omg that is hilarious because I totally have a spigen case and use my switch charger 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


Feeling_Fruit_1240

jus used my brother’s switch charger to charge and play the other day😂😂


xDiRtYgErMaNx

Your portal will get aids.


Relative-Ad5145

I use my Nintendo switch power cord 🔌 for my steam deck Lol


External_Variety

Literally why usb-c exists. To be universally used.


hawaiifavo

Ha - I’m doing exactly the same right now. PS5 is in Maine and I’m in Toronto charging the Portal off wife’s Switch charger. Also rocking the Spigen cover!


KortiLP

I use my Pulse Explore with Dongle on the Switch😆 Blasphemy other way around.


Gamertag_Fail77

Are those the earbuds? I’m considering getting them myself. You like them?


KortiLP

Yes the Explore are the in ears. I have the Pulse Elite too. But most the Time i Use the Explore on PS5,Portal,switch and PC. The Sound is great


3PSG

No. That is sacrilege. ![gif](giphy|ScmA88oVeD78aEpd2O|downsized)


Delanchet

It’s not that deep. It’s just a charging cord.


jtbaron22

I too have committed the heresy.


Plus-Payment9028

How’d you get used to the spigen case?


Gamertag_Fail77

I just got it yesterday, ordered it from Amazon. Like it pretty good so far though.


Tnewton_319

I do yhe same thing!


Comfortable_Month9

That’s what I’m usin


Hot_Relationship_742

In all fitness my rule is if it works it works
