Hacking Question what cable can I use?

[The Real Jdbye]

so my friend said he wanted his pro controller cable back and so right now I don't have a way to access rcm payloads,can anyone post a link of what cables should be fine for rcm ? As I don't really want to shell out 50£ for a pro controller just for the cable.
Thanks

I would get a Pro Controller anyway, they are great controllers.
But the JoyCon charge grip also comes with a cable, and should be cheaper than a Pro Controller. Not saying buy one just for the cable but you might want one anyway.

Will this be safe? https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerL...276&sr=1-1-fkmr1&keywords=usb+c+anker+56k+ohm

As long as it has a 56k resistor it's safe (which it does)
IIRC the old version of this cable didn't have that, which is why they started marking it with 56k resistor so people would know that it's safe.

okay so I got my cable and I hope it won't kill my switch.

I bought that same cable before the switch was released and have been using it Since launch day to charge it etc. Everything seems proper to me.

(EDIT) For those of you who come across this looking for USB-C Accessories/Cables: I found my cable via a list compiled by an engineer (Nathan K.)
who has compiled a list of USB-C compliant devices. He no longer maintains the list but it is still available HERE. For more information regarding USB-C adapters, portable chargers, and cables etc. you can checkout Nathan K. and the other person responsible for testing the listed products, Benson Leung's Google+ pages.
