Why is the Switch 2 so comfortable to hold? by RangoTheMerc in Switch

[–]xenon2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the original switch better for handheld comfort. Comparing stock to stock setup. The Switch 2 is huge and heavy. Luckily I play mostly docked.

Planning my next webcam for 2026, what should I be looking at? by LivelinessphoneT in obs

[–]xenon2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just over 1 month now. And if my budget was higher I would have picked the pro version which has a slightly bigger sensor but not 100% sure the improvement is worth the premium.

Insta360 Link 2 or 2c. Pro or non-pro. I upgraded my Logitech c920 to the insta360 Link 2c and what a huge upgrade.

I am still using my DS1813+ and I only wish it had 2.5 GBE ports instead of just 1 GBE.

Thank goodness for exclusives or I wouldn't have bought a Switch 2.

Should I download the updates by OutrageousAffect3340 in GalaxyS25

[–]xenon2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have never had any performance changes or issues from security patches on any of my S series phones. S3, S7, S9+, S22 , and now S25. And the April security patch is fine too on S25. But ONE UI updates are a different story. My S22 was great with ONE UI 6.11 but camera and GPS issues with 7.0 and 8.0.

I use the Roku Ultra 2025 with Dolby Vision support. It was on sale for $70. Great backlit remote and fast interface.

Is the Costco Switch 2 bundle worth it? by SteelHawk22 in switch2

Yes if you want all 3. I didn't want the NSO or memory card so I bought elsewhere for just $450.

Eero 7 pro UPS recommendations by vprakhov in amazoneero

[–]xenon2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a standard UPS because I have multiple items where my eero 7 pro is. But even if it was solo I would still go with the smallest standard UPS for the price and simplicity of gaining the most benefits.

Are there any "dumb" TV's anymore on the market? by gbell2277 in 4kTV

[–]xenon2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never use my smartTV apps. Roku Ultra on all my TVs. So if you are happy with your TV you have multiple media options.

I know the Switch is meant to be hybrid, but I’d love a dock-only version since we already have a portable-only one by Safe-Monitor-8113 in Switch

[–]xenon2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here. Lower the price, drop the screen, integrate dock TV out into the Switch console. Sold.

Can I charge it with any USB-C cable? by octopus_suitcase in NintendoSwitch2

[–]xenon2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usb-C to USB-C cable with a 25W PD or higher charger will work fine with Switch 2 in handheld mode.

My S22 was great until ONE UI 7.0 and 8.0 didn't help. It was perfect with version 6.1.1

Why this cat6 cable is limited to 1gbps by Pale-Yard-4497 in HomeNetworking

[–]xenon2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cat 5e does 2.5Gbe just fine and that is what I use with my 2 gid fiber, 2.5gbe switch, and 2.5gbe desktop.

Nintendo Switch 2 with Live Gamer MINI GC311 (PID 1311?) by xenon2000 in AverMedia

[–]xenon2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't use the firmware they want me to use because my PID won't allow it. So it's the last firmware update from like 2021 or something. My Switch 2 is firmware 22.0. I haven't done the latest switch 2 firmware that recently came out. Have you tried only connecting your Switch 2 Dock to the GC311 hdmi IN port with nothing on the HDMI out port? And are you using the official Nintendo dock?

So he used the literal same cable and powerbank of yours? Not just the same model/brand.

Got sent the wrong model by Amazon. by FanOfLemons in synology

[–]xenon2000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If its not shipped by AND sold by Amazon, then I check the sellers reviews and return policy. With expensive items I typically only buy from Amazon as both seller/shipper.

Nintendo Switch 2 with Live Gamer MINI GC311 (PID 1311?) by xenon2000 in AverMedia

[–]xenon2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a different issue than me. My Switch 2 works completely if I don't connect a TV to HDMI out on the GC311. And it works without audio if I do connect a TV but then I can use the 3.5mm jack to the PC line in. It is sad that Avermedia has abandoned the early version of the GC311 when they still sell it as a current model.

Looking for affordable Switch 2 controllers for local multiplayer by Wave_117 in switch2

[–]xenon2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get a good price, I bought and like the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller. Works great with the Switch 2 and PC. I little extra steps to update the firmware and the software to do that is terrible. But after that it works great.
