In case you missed it back in October, YouTuber and hardware modder Robotanv modded the Switch Lite to include Qi wireless charging. With a Qi wireless charging receiver and some soldering, Robotanv could fairly easily upgrade the handheld with this feature. You can watch the 4-minute video below where he also explains the upgrade process should you want to try the hack yourself:

Looks like I'm going to have a fun weekend.

Didn’t watch the video yet, would this also be able on a regular switch?

Yes should work just fine, I have both switch's and I will only do it on my lite because of the small size.

This is just not impressive. Looks like a lot with those videos about usb micro to usb C conversions on X device

 

[Deleted member 568892]

Good if you want to extend the life of the difficult to replace USB C port

Not a bad idea. Yes a good idea.

If the "sandwich" OLED had this, the asking price could be justified.

Now add a docking station

Modders are so cool! It's people like him that are the reason the Afterburner is no longer needed in the Game Boy Advance.

Other then sayin "AHH COOL" whats the point of Mod. Whenever I charge my switch its usually as I play. So having it wirelessly won't work for me..

I play for a bit, then put it down to charge so it's full charged for next session. I'm not really into wireless charging but I guess it could work for my scenario.

Oh, this is great. I've always wanted dust to collect on my screen while it's charging. Now my dream can be a reality!

This mod could be way better with magsafe style charger.

I remember watching a guy on YouTube replacing Micro USB with USB-C in a DualShock 3 controller.

Meaning, if you know what you're doing then it's mods a lot would wish to have, too.

 

[SecureBoot]

Who cares if it's not some crazy bonkers mod. It's still a really neat addition and a fairly simple one to get working.

or worse lawsuit then steal his idea

I did this about two weeks ago, and it eventually caused issues with charging if the console was fully dead, as in the example picture below.

It wouldn't accept charging from a USB cable at all in this state; I was forced to charge it wirelessly to get it to boot to the HOME Menu. I checked and no pins were bridged.

So nintendo can speedrun how quickly a fresh battery can burn itself up.

At this point, everyone is a modder.
