SnapPort for Switch 2: Useful but Unproven
JSAUX’s SnapPort could be a simple way to make the upcoming Switch 2 more flexible, especially for tabletop setups where charging and accessories need to work at the same time. The problem is that the console’s top USB-C port was still a big unknown when this accessory was announced.
I have used a few JSAUX accessories with my Switch and Steam Deck, and they have always worked great. So when the company revealed something new for Switch 2, I was immediately interested.
The idea is smart. The real question is whether the Switch 2 top USB-C port can properly support it.
🔌 What the SnapPort Does
The SnapPort turns one USB-C port into two. That means gamers could connect a charger and another accessory at the same time instead of choosing between them.
JSAUX announced two versions, both priced at $19.99:
| Model | Ports | Charging Support | Data Speed | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DD0012 | USB-C + USB-C | Up to 100W | Up to 480Mbps | $19.99 |
| DD0013 | USB-C + USB-A | Up to 100W | Up to 480Mbps | $19.99 |
The USB-C version makes sense for newer accessories, while the USB-A option could be useful for older wired gear.
It is also a small accessory. JSAUX lists it at 43mm × 37mm × 30mm, and it attaches to the console with magnets. It looks much cleaner than having cables and adapters hanging from the top of the system.
⚠️ The Big Question Is the Top USB-C Port
The biggest issue is not the design. It is the lack of clear information about what the Switch 2 top USB-C port can actually do.
At the time of the announcement, it did not support video output. So this is not an accessory for connecting a display or replacing a dock.
Charging and data may work, but it was unclear how reliable those features would be through a splitter. A USB-C port can look simple while still having limits that only show up once gamers start using accessories together.
For example, will it charge the console normally while handling a wired controller? Will it work well with cameras, keyboards, headsets, or other USB accessories? Those are the things that need real testing after launch.
Until then, buying one is a small gamble.
🎮 Who Might Actually Use It?
This accessory feels built for a specific kind of Switch 2 setup rather than something every gamer needs.
It could be helpful for:
- Tabletop gaming with a wired controller
- Using a rumored camera while keeping the console charging
- Connecting a wired keyboard or headset
- Keeping more than one accessory connected without swapping cables
That said, it may not matter much for gamers who mostly play handheld or keep their Switch 2 docked.
If you normally charge through the dock, use wireless accessories, or play without extra gear, the SnapPort could easily become another accessory sitting in a drawer.

🧠 A Smart Idea Worth Waiting On
JSAUX has a solid history with gaming accessories, and the SnapPort design looks clean, compact, and useful for the right setup.
Still, it is launching before gamers know exactly how the Switch 2 top USB-C port will behave with charging and data accessories. That makes waiting for real testing the smarter move.
Would you buy a USB splitter now, or wait until the Switch 2 port support is clearer?
