Cables

I won't list prices here since they fluctuate a lot. Some of the chargers listed above have a non-removable cable. All the others (except the iPad charger) require a USB C-to-C cable.

USB C-to-C: For the Macbook, Google, SONEic, and battery pack chargers listed above. Here are a few on Amazon: AmazonBasics,
Anker, Cable Matters, Aukey.

USB A-to-C: The iPad charger is the only one that gives good charging speeds with these. The 5ft cable included with the Pro Controller works. Here are some others on Amazon: AmazonBasics, Anker, Cable Matters, Aukey.

No matter which charger you use, it doesn't matter whether the cable says it's USB 2.0, USB 3.0, or USB 3.1. They all charge at the same speed. Just make sure it has the correct plug shape on each end, that it has good reviews at a reputable merchant, and that it's long enough for how you want to use it.

There are usb 2.0 devices that use usb C. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-USB-Type-C-2-0-Cable/dp/B01GGKZ1VA

I found it. Edit: I thought you mean this cable.

It's bad copy. Yes it supports 5V 3A and also it supports up 20V 3A.

They way this goes, the standard prescribes at least A1, A4, A5, A9, A12, B1, B4, B9, and B12 to be connected. That is two GND, VBus, CC1 and twice because the plug is reversible. Ie every cable is capable of being reconfigured via CC1 up to 20V. And, the problem is with higher amperage -- which is why the 5A cables have an IC in them identifying them to be capable of it.

I still haven't got one, so I can't vouch for it but I'm planning on an Amazon Basics 6ft braided cable.

This, based on how long-lasting my iPhone cable turned out.

Some Amazon Basics USB C cables on sale too!
3 ft $6.85
6 ft $7.27

Amazon Basics work perfectly fine and are Benson Leung approved.

They come in 0.5, 3, 6, or 9 feet.

If you're talking about this Amazon Basics cable it's one of the safest ones you can buy. It's USB-IF certified and has a favorable review from Benson.

Benson is a Google engineer who would test USB-C cables for fun(?) until eventually one fried his testing equipment.

If the Switch will 'play nice' with the charger you're using is another matter, and one I haven't been able to find good enough information on. A week ago I would have sworn Anker power banks were the safest way to charge it on the go until a thread popped up saying their Anker power bank bricked their Switch.

I'll probably try this one once I have a Switch: AmazonBasics USB Type-C

The top reviewer does a lot of USB-C cable testing and verified that it works with USB-C PD up to 60W which should be fine for the Switch's 18W. This cable won't work for high speed applications but I don't have any USB-C devices so I can't justify buying the more expensive USB-C 3.1 cables just for charging.

Anker look good, but last time someone with tools and knowledge checked them (Nathan K or Benson Leung, I don't remember who of those two) the red braided fancy ones had too much voltage drop. I don't know if they've fixed them, but Anker for some reason refuses to certify their stuff (chargers and cables) for USB compliance. [EDIT: uh, apparently those cables are certified, at least the gray ones in that link above.] [EDIT 2: I dug a bit deeper, and apparently Anker does certify chargers as well, I was wrong but still vouch for the Amazon cables Anker rubs me the wrong way for other reasons that are off-topic here].

The Amazon cables are good, cheap, and certified. I have them in all available lengths, the longer ones are thicker, as they should be. If you only want them for charging, USB 2.0 cables are probably better cause they have fewer wires so the cables can be thinner and/or longer without increasing resistance, and they're also cheaper.

OK, let's clear up a few things here... First off, sure higher wattage in theory means faster. However, most USB PD phones will never charge faster than 18W (9V/2A) and very often they'll charge slower than that, you don't need a higher end charger unless you're gonna charge a laptop or a more demanding device.

Second, USB version spec doesn't matter at all for charging speed. The absolute fastest charge cables for 60W+ charging are often USB 2.0 because making a long one (6ft+) that's also USB 3.0 is physically impossible AFAIK, the lines used for charging differ from data lines. You just need 3A capable cables.

Those max wattage cables do require some e-markers that tell the device and charger they're good for 5A and the highest voltages, but again, you don't need that for a phone. Amazon Basics C to C cables are more than good enough for your purposes and you can have them cheap and in lengths from 6' to 6" and in black or white.

Don't overspend for charging cables (max speed data ones will run you more)... Those Amazon Basics ones run like $6-8 IIRC. Belkin, Anker, Veckle, etc do make stuff w/better strain reliefs and whatnot tho so if you're gonna beat on them shop around. If you need one for a laptop for high wattage charging the $20 Apple one is great.

Finally, there's a very simple reason that multi USB-C chargers are relatively rare... It's kind of a twofold reason, most people don't have a lot of USB-C devices and the USB-IF discourages manufacturers from rating chargers for X wattage if it can't supply it on all ports simultaneously. The gets tricky with high wattage obviously...

A lot of manufactures are still sort of misrepresenting things on that front by adding up the wattage of their USB-C and Type A port (which of course makes no sense and isn't of any use to you), but anyway. I think Aukey has a dual port car charger out but I haven't seen a review. Nathan K who's reviewed a ton of USB PD gear gave the OK to this Scosche tho.

They make a car one too, they're a little pricey IMO but there's not a lot to choose from. That being said, the OG Pixel and the 2 had an undocumented feature (not present on the 3) that allowed them to charge at 10-12W off Type A chargers with Apple-like signaling, so you could get away with a cheaper A + C charger like this for now.

Do note that the two Scosche ones whine great for phones would be pretty slow for charging something like a laptop, which is what a lot of the higher wattage chargers are geared for since USB PD is becoming common with laptops, standard on Chromebooks, etc.

According to a recent Benson Leung's test the AmazonBasics USB 2.0 C-to-C cable is an excellent replacement.

Oh man, i had the same question for weeks. I decided to buy the Google Pixel charger and with no doubt in my mind is the absolutely best charger for the Switch. Get it!.

The other "problem" was the USB C cable. I ordered 2, one from Amazon Basics and one from Anker. Those are the best. I really really like the Amazon Basics cable, is the one im using with my Google Pixel. The Anker cable has better quality (well, not really. Is just sturdier) but is double the cost (I bought it so i can have one to use with my Power Bank). If you only need it for the Pixel then get the Amazon Basics cable.

Hope that helps!

Anker is good: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-PowerLine-Durability-Including-Matebook-Gray/dp/B01LNA0XCU/

but Amazon's own brand is fine, particularly for £5.49: https://www.amazon.co.uk/AmazonBasics-Double-Braided-Type-C-Silver/dp/B07CWFNWBW

For some reason, the plain plastic cable is £6.99 on .co.uk (I bought a two-pack of these for €7 on .de a while back): https://www.amazon.co.uk/AmazonBasics-USB-Type-C-2-0-Cable/dp/B01GGKZ1VA/

Of the above, I have all three. Amazon's braided cable is a quality product and I'd definitely recommend it for day-to-day use. I use it to charge my laptop and my Pixel; the plain ones are 'extras' in the car or the kitchen drawer.

These are all USB 2.0 cables, so they'll be slow for moving data but will still charge as fast as any device allows.

ETA: hell, the 3m Amazon braided cable is still only £5.49. I'd get that one for sure.

My 2 month old Switch, only used for 20-30hrs or so just had the Touchscreen functionality completely die. No touch response at all after being left in case for 3 weeks when I was on holiday. I cleaned it, took off the screenprotector, did a hard reset without profile/savedata loss: no change. It's on the way to Nintendo RMA right now...
Kind of pissed such an expensive device that has barely seen any use breaks so quickly! Anybody else know of this happening? I find very little about it on Google.

Edit: if it matters, I charged it right before with this adapter: https://www.ugreen.com.cn/products/18w-pd-usb-c-quick-charger and this cable: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-USB-Type-C-Charger-Cable/dp/B01GGKZ1VA/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=amazonbasics+usb-c&qid=1565785614&s=electronics&sr=1-4
