What exactly is the difference between buying one of these and buying a generic name brand one for cheaper? I have a generic one which works perfectly fine, but am genuinely curiously.

Check the specs, like write/read speeds. If these are the same, then the cards will perform more or less the same. I wouldn't buy completely generic brands, though. Stick with Samsung or SandDisk without the Nintendo branding.

Got it, I previously got the Samsung evo for $10 cheaper which runs perfectly fine. Was just wondering for a friend who just got a switch, thanks
