KOVA HYC-1638 60W USB-C Charger for Nintendo Switch

Charger: The KOVA HYC-1638 is a 60W USB-C AC adapter listed for Nintendo Switch 2 and earlier Switch models, with claims of compatibility with the Switch 2 dock and Steam Deck. Its claimed 20V/3A output is aimed at docked use, while customer feedback praises charging and cord length but raises a durability concern.

At a glance

The listing claims 60W output and 20V/3A for Switch 2 dock use, including its advertised 4K TV mode.
USB-C connectivity and a claimed 5FT/1.5M cable suit handheld charging or a dock setup, though the cable is not in the explicit included-components field.
KOVA says the adapter is a third-party replacement, not an official Nintendo charger.
The feature copy claims PD 3.0 and a 2.5-hour charge time, but does not specify the device or conditions for that timing.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing details are inconsistent about the bundle: its explicit included-components field names only one 60 W AC adapter, while feature copy also claims a 5FT/1.5M charging cable. Confirm the selected listing's package contents. The claimed 240-volt input and 20V output are listed with differing levels of detail, and the output voltage field omits a unit. The product is identified as a KOVA replacement, not an official Nintendo adapter. The stated 2.5-hour charging time has no specified device or test conditions.
