Random bloke made his own Switch dock and put Gamecube controller ports in them.

The Nintendo Switch Dock should have shipped with GameCube controller ports. This post details the solution I created to in...

That would have saved some money on an adapter.

Neat! I currently have the Wii U gamecube adapter, which is switch-compatible (although it uses both of your USB ports). I actually think I would prefer it to this solution, simply because the Wii U adapter gives you another 4 feet of length. For reference, this is what I use.

Can he make it so you can put an ethernet cable in too without needing a ******** adapter for it? I would be more interested in that.

Imagine playing smash brothers lag-free-ish without needing to shell twenty bucks for a dongle! That is difficult to use simultaneously with your gamecube adapter because... they both use USB (This is my life. This is how I am forced to smash.)

Well, no... I have a Nintendo branded one. Didn't realize the image I posted was a knockoff!

Sidenote, I got it by trading a guy five bucks worth of yugioh cards and a McChicken. Kind of a steal in my opinion!!

Why would he?!

 

[Storm_Echo]

Why would he?!

Well, he was hungry and he didn't use it! Plus he needed the cards. So, in a way, he got something for nothing! (Since he didn't need the adapter at all)

you only need one USB for the adapter. the second one is only for rumble basically.

You don't need a Nintendo brand network adapter to give your Switch a physical connection. Other brands work just fine. It's like buying one of those Nintendo micro SD cards.
