USB-C is a universal connector standard that has gained popularity due to its versatility and efficiency. Unlike previous USB types, USB-C connectors are reversible, meaning they can be plugged in either way. This feature simplifies connections and reduces wear on ports over time. The Nintendo Switch utilizes this technology for both charging and data transfer.
