And I like to use the usb-c port on my laptop. It's closer to the HDMI and seems like a stronger port when using the usb extension.

From TribalInstincts YouTube page. "UPDATE! There is a USB-C port. It is not obvious at all however it exists and I've verified passthrough."
Bought this for $6 so I could be ready.
*Edit: Not in video, pinned in comments.
Besides the Panda Global adapter, you could try one of the following:
8bitdo G Bros. Wireless Adapter. Lets you use the original GC controller, but it'll be wireless so there'll be a slight increase in input delay. Not sure if it's noticeable but I doubt it, should be like any other wireless controller.
Get a USB C to USB A adapter and plug the original GC adapter in it. A bit more of a mess than the Panda Global adapter but this works just fine. You'd have to get some kind of stand like this if you want to have the Switch standing up, since the USB C adapter is gonna prevent you from using the Switch kickstand.
I've haven't been able to use mine for 30 seconds at a time before the screen goes black and I have to restart. I suspect it may have something to do with my USB 3 ports on my laptop. Also the USB port is on the other side from the DisplayPort meaning I have to stretch the cable to get it to fit which I doubt is helping (for reference my laptop is a MSI GS63 Stealth).
​
I have a USB C thunderbolt next to my DisplayPort so I ordered an adapter on Amazon. It should be here tomorrow so I'll post an update after I've tried it.
​
Edit: here's the link to the adapter if anyone else wants to try this out
An even cheaper solution would be to get an OTG adapter. AmazonBasics has it for 539 rupees but you should be able to find off brand ones for much less.

Inexpensive and great item so far.
So I've tested Link with an eGPU (external graphics card / dock). It eventually worked for me. Here are the specs:
Here are my observations:
Conclusion:
I knew what I was getting into, but using a Rift S with such setup instead of the Quest/Link is preferred due to TB3 limitations when feeding the signal back to the PC. Ideally, you would not use Oculus Quest or even a Rift S with an eGPU setup, but this is the setup I have, so here we are: it is confirmed to be working on a Windows machine and an RTX 2070 eGPU, as long as you have proper USB 3 ports. This depends on your laptop, though, hence Virtual Link port can save the day for some people.

I'm using a dongle + a short USB c cable. I keep the dongle attached to the camera, then the short cable to the drive, reduces port fatigue and cable fatigue. Haven't had any issues.

Will this or this work with the gamecube adapter I know adapters work but does this one?
There are controllers that can plug in to the switch. You will probably need to get a usbc to usbc cable or usbc to microusb depending on the controller. I'm currently using a usbc to usbc for the 8bitdo snes grip controller. There is also the GameCube adapter that connects wired GameCube controllers. Lots of options more just up for preference. Is there a specific controller style you want. Like analog placements ECT?
Also if you already have a USB 2.0/3.0 you could get an adapter like this.
You can plug an USB C to USB A converter into the bottom of the switch and then plug it in.
I've done that with my Magic-NS adapter.

This guy.
I used to use a Kingston Datatraveler, but it died within about the first 2-3 weeks of ownership. This Samsung one has been going much longer.
If/when this one becomes insufficient then I'm going to flip to a TeslaUSB Raspberry Pi implementation.
I also bought one of these AmazonBasics USB Type-C to USB 3.1 Gen1 Female Adapter Cable - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GGKYXVE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_SHUIlTuORLyN8 so I could plug the drive directly in to my phone and use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snailboat.teslacamreviewer to review the footage on my phone.
I then delete the videos I don't like/want. If I want to keep the video I either copy it to my phone, or upload it directly to my OneDrive, via the phone, so I can use a desktop app to fiddle with it.
Just need one of these to get going.... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GGKYXVE/ref=crt_ewc_img_dp_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

I assume you have a usb 2.0 cable that has a boxy end for your interface and a regular usb on the other end. If that is the case, then yes, just buy a usb ->usb C adapter.

Does anyone know any good USB-C Chargers that actually supply the full 18w to an undocked switch? For example, is this charger good for it? I heard the Google Pixel 18w charger is good. Also, if I use a female USB-A to C adapter with my Pro Controller cable (example), would that support the full 18w charging?
I'd like a cheaper, USB-C both ends cable recommendation too.
I should say: I’ve noticed all these same problems when docked with the LAN adapter connected. Undocked, but using a USB-C OTG adapter in handheld mode works with the LAN adapter. So strange.

Over USB, yes. I saw some video on youtube where a guy hooked up a midi keyboard (I think a keystep?) with a little usb type a to type c adapter (like this). You'll need the adapter unless you have a midi keyboard with USB-C out.
Literally any bluetooth mouse is fine or usb wire/less + USB C OTG wire (like this one). You can't charge the Tab while using a USB mouse unless you get another adapter so I'd probably recommend the bluetooth option unless you want to use it with more devices

Ah - OK, so I'm assuming you have an A device (with a B socket or a captive / fixed USB plug) as the DAC?
 
If your device just has a USB plug, then you need either one of those all in one PD hubs with at least one A socket, or the two headed dongle linked by the other user + a C to A adapter.
 
If your device has a USB-B socket at the device end, you can get C to B cables, so the mini PD hub linked by the other guy + cable should get you C PD + B connectivity.
e.g. if you have a USB2.0 DAC, then you'll need a C to 2.0 B cable.
If it's a USB3.0 device, then you'll need a C to 3.0 B cable.
Those are just examples - I don't have any of those cables, and you will need to be careful - especially with the 2.0 B cables, make sure they have the resistor as a minimum and look at reviews.
Yes it does. It's an awkward angle since you need to plug it into the bottom. But it does work. I own the Amazon Basics USB Type-C to USB 3.1 Gen1 Female Adapter Cable. And I've never had an issue.
