Now you don’t need to keep it on the very edge of a surface anymore.
Recently, Nintendo announced a charging stand for the Switch that lets it run in tabletop mode while you charge. Which is a good thing, since the charging port was, bar none, the greatest flaw in tabletop mode. Not only is the AC port on the side of the unit, but the whole thing is adjustable, meaning you can find just the right angle to play at regardless of your seating.
The new Switch charging stand will be released July 13th this year. And it won’t set you back too much,with an MSRP of $19.99.
