The USB 3.0 port is still technically a USB 2.0 port as far as the Switch is concerned. It's this far into the Switch life, 2 years, and they can't get off their asses to roll out the proper fucking drivers for their own hardware. They're too busy making every patch "stability" instead of giving us features that we PAID for and aren't delivered yet.

Honestly if any lawyers are reading this, please look into a class action false advertising lawsuit against Nintendo. I'm unsure of the legality of it, but I feel like advertising a feature and failing to properly deliver that feature especially after so long constitutes as false advertising. Technically we have a 3.0 port but functionally we don't. It doesn't matter if you plug your Lan adapter into the 3.0, port or the 2.0 ports, your Switch will see it as the same thing and thus have a huge cap on its availible bandwidth.

I really wish more people were aware of this but every time I bring it up I get a bunch of crickets and question marks. I wonder if the average consumer even understands the difference between the different upgrades to the USB port...

Yes Nintendo, keep on wasting resources to play cat and mouse with the homebrew scene despite the fact that your system is now and has been permanantly cracked I to for a while now. You lost, Nintendo. Give up the ghost and provide functionality and features people want with your updates. Obviously focus on patching out exploits when you can but at this point it's become a joke to consumers that "stability" is the only patch note for a majority of the Switch updates. That means nothing for the end user and almost nothing for the home brewer either since they already have a ton of other exploits they can utilize and will never be patched out so long as they find old hardware.
