Best USB C cable for tegra RCM

[catlady77]

So I spent all day yesterday freaking the hell out because my switches wouldn’t even turn on with tegra/ rekado / rcm loader. I used 3 NEW different usba to usbc cables only to figure out my computer wasn’t even reading anything.

It was only after I used a 3.1/3.2 gen usb c to usb c cable that my switches finally responded and turned back on. Only then my rcm dongle started to work again, too. So, cool, I saved two of my switches but can anyone please recommend cheaper yet compatible with tegraRCM? I don’t need that scare again and the whole “why won’t it turn on” happens every blue moon but this was the first time it basically took all day because I thought my cables were ok since they were new and I used different ports.

I use an official Nintendo one that came with the Pro Controller and I've not had a minute's problem.

Oh okay I have that cable too somewhere i just dump all the charging cables in the same box so I didn’t think about it

Literally any USB-C Data Cable.

Is there any difference between a data cable and like, the cable that comes with a phone charger?

Of course: one can transmit data, other only charge.

So in an entire year and a half I was never explicitly told it had to be a data usb-c cable lol…
