Been looking for a way to minimise latency on Nintendo Switch online games and a lot of people recommend using ethernet rather than wifi.
While the new OLED switch has a built in ethernet port, this will give you the same feature on the older switch for a fraction of the price from a reputable brand.
This one has AX88179 which is the ONLY chip that works with Nintendo Switch. For those not looking to buy one for the Nintendo switch, you can find heaps with RTL8153 chip for sub $15.
