Brook launches USB-C to HDMI adapter compatible with Nintendo Switch 2
Brook, the accessory manufacturer known for console adapters and controllers, has released a compact USB-C to HDMI adapter designed to work with the Nintendo Switch 2.
Listed on Amazon for $24, the adapter aims to provide a lightweight alternative to carrying the official Switch dock when travelling or when users need an extra display option at home.
Nintendo Life reporter Ollie Reynolds tested the device and confirmed it connects to a 4K LG TV without issue, and also works with projectors.
In reporting their hands-on experience, Nintendo Life noted that many USB-C HDMI converters fail to produce a signal with the Switch 2, but this Brook adapter did not share that limitation.
The outlet also recommends using the official Switch 2 AC adapter to power the unit, mirroring Brook’s guidance on stable power delivery for dockless setups.
Hardware details and practical notes
- Price and availability: The adapter is available on Amazon for $24.
Buyers should verify the Amazon product listing for current availability and region-specific details.
- Display compatibility: Nintendo Life’s test confirmed output to a 4K LG television and noted compatibility with projectors, provided users bring an HDMI cable.
- Power requirements: Brook advises—and Nintendo Life corroborates—that the original Switch 2 AC adapter should be used as the power source for reliable operation.
- USB-C port usage: In testing, the adapter produced a signal only when connected to the Switch 2’s bottom USB-C port (the port used by the standard dock).
Connections via the console’s top USB-C port did not consistently provide a display signal.
Why it matters
For frequent travellers or households with multiple TVs but a single dock, a compact USB-C to HDMI adapter can reduce bulk in luggage and simplify gaming setups in hotels or temporary locations.
While the official Nintendo dock remains the full-featured solution for many users, third-party adapters like Brook’s provide a lightweight, budget-friendly option for docked gameplay without the physical dock.
Confirmed facts in this article are based on the Amazon product listing, Brook’s published recommendations, and Nintendo Life’s hands-on testing by Ollie Reynolds.
