Looking to get a USB cable to charge my Switch while playing. Got one with my $10 case but the battery still drains when playing Mario Kart. Plan to hook it up to my PC's USB 3 port, so it will need to be a Type A to Type C. Will also end up charging from an outlet. Is this even possible if you don't use a proper charge with power brick?
Was looking at these.

My understanding is 56KΩ is desirable for the Switch, but unsure on what V or Amp I'd need. Or if my PC/outlet can even supply enough power via a Type A to Type C cable only.
For more cinematic games I'd use my PC monitor, but I want to be able to use my PC and Switch at the same time as I only have one monitor. In these cases using the dock won't work.
