Hardware Kickstarter for GENKI Bluetooth adapter to allow bluetooth headphones on the Switch!

[firestorm2yk]

Just came across this kickstarter and thought i would post it here as playing Skyrim with my Sennhiser headphones would be pretty sweet, and thought others might also be interested:

Let me know what you think!

Only lacking dock support, it seems. I’m using a bt transmitter on the headphone jack. That is working well. This though, looks very nice and much more compact. I like that you can pair 2 sets of headphones.

It's a really cool concept!
Wishing them to be successful.

Which seems like a simple USB A to USB C adapter, nothing special in that department. Definitely interested in that audio adapter though.

I am failry certain @slaphappygamer meant the ability to dock the switch with the adapter still inserted. But I guess you knew that.

EDIT: btw, that dock adapter is a <$1 piece of hardware:

Looking at the kickstarter web page it's not very clear right away that this is possible to use in anything but portable mode, appears like a portable only option at first.

from the kickstarter:

The dock adapter is a simple USB adapter enabling you to use GENKI with your Nintendo Switch docked

it's roughly at the half way mark down the page and it shows pictures. The USB adapter thing looks really clunky, though.

from the kickstarter:

I'm aware, it's also more than half way down their enormous page, and if you just gave it a quick glance like I did at first it would be easy to miss.

I just realized you weren't claiming that it wouldn't work, just that it's burried in the kickstarter somwhere. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
