How long is the cord that comes with this? My switch is about 6 feet away from the couch and I don't know if the cord will reach to charge while playing... null

Question

The cord is 5 feet long. Having the same concern, I purchased a USB extension just in case. It doesn’t have to be plugged into the console though. I added a charging block to the end and I plug it into an outlet right next to me while sitting on the couch. Works great!

You can buy a longer cable, but I wouldn't recommend it. The charging while playing isn't really effective and with something really intensive (say the latest Zelda or the Outer worlds) you actually still have a bit of a drain, although its slower. It doesn't really take that long to fully charge the joycons, so I'd just pop them on your charging handle or the switch, let them power back up to full and go from there.

Does not need to be plugged in while playing.

The cable is about 3 to 4 ft in length, however, you don't have to keep the grip plugged into the cable to play. After about 3 hours of charging, I remove it from the cable and play with it for about up to 3 full days before recharging.
