Pros
Not a bad purchase and would recommend. The adapter is very neat and will travel easily in my laptop case once we're allowed to meetings in the real world.

My sole intention for buying this was to have a fast ethernet adapter to use with my nintendo switch because on wifi my switchs internet connection is poor and sometimes makes my online experience borderline unplayable

But my advice is to just doublecheck the description and look around to see if the ethernet adapter youre looking to buy for your switch will actually work
