I have a confession to make after about the first two days of using a Nintendo switch I have not once docked it inflated in TV mode as far as I'm concerned this right now with the games on it is pretty much a handheld that's the way I use it and it's really shaped and changed my perception about how I want to use it incorporate it in different setups and I thought occurred to me when I did my recent battery video about the flexibility of a USBC port where what if I could set it up so that I could just take this and set it down somewhere I can charge it now admittedly as things are right now wireless charging isn't exactly the most super efficient method but I'm just really curious if I can get a setup like this to work with the switch and if it does if it's actually viable right now so to begin with obviously we need some way for the switch to receive a charge for my wireless charging service and that's where this USBC wireless charge receiver comes in handy because you're pretty cheap you can just grab them off Amazon plugs right into the bottom of the switch and bam the idea is you lay down and it should work just fine the only thing is you might notice this kind of flimsy floppy kind of thing just weird the idea is you can peel this off on the back and it'll stick to whatever device you want to charge but I don't really want to do that with my switch especially this idea doesn't pan out I don't want to stick anything to it that I have to rip off so we have to find some other way to keep this thing still and I've gotten idea the switch hybrid cover this is an accessory that Nintendo's released that's mainly meant to be a way of protecting your switch when you're using it portably kind of seals off the front and keeps the screen safe and it gives you a better way to use it in kickstand mode instead of the weak little one built into the switch but most importantly for us though is it gives us a little place we can hide that Wireless charge receiver all we got to do is open up the case plug in this wireless charger sivir and one problem we do run into is that it is a little taller than the switch when you try closing it it's just not going to fit right so we have to tilt it to the side and keep that in mind for later when we place it on surfaces now that we have all this set up the question is what are we going to get to actually have a charge on now there are cheap options you can grab on Amazon but I want to do something a little more interesting special maybe even something where you have furniture that's integrated into it so I took if to Ikea while I was there I found a couple different options there is of course always the traditional pads they can just place on top of your desk one of the cooler ones though was the nightstand you can put next to your bed that has an integrated charge surface in it so I ended up getting this LG cellie so whatever I ended up getting is that it's really cool how it integrates the charge surface has great cable management and it looks good now that we have everything we need let's put this thing to the test and we're getting a charge now we just have to see how long it'll actually take based on our testing to get a full charge on your switch using this method it could take as long as eight to nine hours so does wireless charging work yes is it the best most efficient method out there for you to use not at all the only case where it does kind of make sense is that nightstand set up where you could be playing late at night put it down on the nightstand and let it charge while you're sleeping but in a situation where you're playing during the day and the battery gets really low and you need that extra little boost not exactly the method you want to use but it's really cool that we got this set up to work and it's really interesting to imagine a future where all handles are going to have this kind of technology built-in so you can just charge it simply by setting it down
