I've already read dark10x's thread on the matter: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=453813 , I felt like it wasn't conclusive enough to prevent me from being paranoid as balls.
Apologies for the amazon links. If anyone is concerned I have removed all reference data from them. IIRC Neogaf automatically adds its own referral info anyway.
On that note, specific product recommendations are welcome and appreciated.
For 3DS:
I have two paths here.
I know I can have things shipped to the campus even if it arrives early, but it adds up to roughly $30 in combined costs if I choose an option that is likely to arrive when I do, or at least the same week. I missed out on it being on Amazon Prime france yesterday, curse my luck. This should have the benefit of working with my charging stand though.
Outlet to USB to 3DS is the other option. USB 3DS chargers aren't first party products, and I can't say I've ever heard of any of the companies supplying them. That leaves me reliant on reviews. USB outlets have more options, but there seems to be figurative minefield of potential problems, from dying in a few days to just being abysmally slow. Half of them also seem to be sponsored products which really messes with the search.
The combination I found is about half the price of ordering the adapter.
-This was the USB charger I was leaning towards: the material looks nice, but it only has 7 (albeit positive) reviews: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NCIPUGC/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Nothing else looked promising.
-In terms of plugs, this was what I was looking at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GJI3L7Q/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Only a single plug and rather large for it, but there doesn't seem to be any issue immediately jumping out at me from the reviews.
For Switch:
As a note, I'm fairly certain the rooms at the campus don't have a TV, so I won't be bringing my dock. With that in mind, I can be a bit more flexible with charging solutions.
The european adapter is currently being sold as a prime exclusive item, so I would just need to get a trial (it's bizarre that my own prime doesn't carry over). This puts it at about $30.
Same deal with plugs as above. The usb to usb c I found was this in particular: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A6F3WHG/?tag=neogaf0e-20
The only real issue I'm concerned about is speed, but I'm sure I could probably just adjust my playing habits.
