Greater than one week1. Build quality appears to be solid. 2. The cord length is perfect for the Nintendo Switch dock. If you plug it into the back of the dock, theres a little over 1 of cord hanging out the back of the dock with the case closed, and then you have the Ethernet plug at the end of that. 3. The color matches the standard gray Joy-Cons pretty well; its a little bit darker, its a shiny, metallic matte. The description and pictures on Amazon make it sound like its a standard bright aluminum, but its actually a dark matte gray. The box says Aluminum Space Gray, and it is almost identical to the space gray-colored MacBooks and iPhones. I was previously connecting my Switch over 5 GHz 802.11ac Wi-Fi to a Netgear Nighthawk router w/custom firmware located about 6 ft away (basically the best case you could hope for connecting a Switch over Wi-Fi). I did a couple speed tests on the console to compare the wireless vs. the new wired connections. Wireless: 23.5 Mbps download 4.5 Mbps upload Wired: 27.5 Mbps download 4.5 Mbps upload My home internet speed is also 75 Mbps down/10 Mbps up, so the above speeds reflect the limits of the Nintendo Switch.

> 3 dayThis works great on my switch. My wifi definitely wasnt the problem with the speed before. The speedtest from my phone wifi behind where the switch is in my living room proves that the switch has mediocre wifi. The adapter was able to substantially improve the switches speed from 40mbps on wireless to 120mpbs wired connection. I have a computer next to it that gets the full gigabit with the same cable and adapter. So the limited speed is once again due to the switch, not the adapter. Also, the Nintendo speed test servers are not consistent so they wont always show the full speed, this can be seen if you just do back to back speed tests. It isnt actually testing your connection speed, but the speed to their speedtest server. If you know your cables and internet connection are good and you have this adapter, you will be getting full speed.

> 3 dayWorks well to give you a ethernet connection on computers that do not have a ethernet port. So far it has worked without a driver on every computer Ive tried it on.

> 3 dayI feel like an idiot for trying to save money and buying this piece of junk. I should have just paid the extra $15 for the Apple one. The Apple one is plug-and-play. This one needs extra drivers installed which you need to disable system integrity protections just to install (which needs a reboot) and then it doesnt even work. The misspellings in the installation dialog should have tipped me off to the fact that this thing belongs in the trash, but instead I tried to install it and get it working. Ever since installing the drivers, my Mac now reboots twice every time I try to restart it. It reboots the first time then reboots again after 20 seconds. After that, its fine. At some point I need to dig into the logs and see what is causing this, but Id swear its from this adapter, since I never saw this behavior before disabling system integrity protections and installing the driver. Anyway, the adapter worked once briefly then didnt work at all. Uninstalled it by running the uninstaller (with more misspellings in the dialog). The device was still present in Network and I still have my reboot issue. Great. Now I probably junked up my Mac with some unremovable crapware. Dont be like me. Pay the extra $15 for the official Apple adapter and spare yourself the pain.
