Nintendo Switch Game Recommendations?

Sometimes help if you read....

Needed to update the controller via the PC 1st, not the dongle.

Step 1 Download Upgrade tool
Step 2 Plug the controller into your windows PC via USB C Cable
Step 3 Update to 2.xx

Plug receiver into Switch Dock.
Make sure the controller is on D
Turn on Switch
Goto settings and make sure Pro wired controller is enabled.
Turn on Controller
Press - and Left bumper for 5-8 seconds. The controller will vibrate and you are redy to go.

NOTE I would recommend the Ultimate C over Ultimate 2.4 if you want to save money as the vanilla 2.4 does not have motion control nor the ability to program via Ultimate Software in this mode.
 
Quick view on the controllers I got from Takelot

White 2.4 for R1099
Only works with dongle after update
Can't turn on Switch, but connects instantly the moment its on.
Can't Swap buttons or program back paddles
Otherwise works like a dream

Black Bluetooth for R1399
Pairing was a breeze just like a Original controller
Turns on Switch by shaking the controller <-- Odd way of doing it but ok.

Don't think you can go wrong with either if you can live without swapping A & B around <-- For me its a must so black one is mine and white one is for the Mrs.

For reference Xbox Series controller:

Hmm, that site says "btgame" - I think it's a scam/credit card harvesting site

Edit: I see Hynkel picked it up as well.

Clever bastard scammers

Yep, I believe it's a scam site. I wouldn't order from there.

Same registrar all the solar scam sites use

Domain Name: btgame.co.za
Registry Domain ID: dom_89T7ZK--1
Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.1api.net
Registrar URL: http://www.1api.net

Def a scam.
 
Picked up an OLED in immaculate condition from Gumtree for R6500. Very happy with the purchase. Turns out I bought my last one from the same guy three years ago lol.

You're a braver person than me buying on Gumtree

It's the only market place I've been scammed. I learned a lot from that.

Now I do my research. One thing Gumtree is good at is closing scammer accounts. If it's been up for some time and has multiple items up, chances are it's legit. Then I do the truecaller lookup, reverse image searches, ask for serials, and have a phone call etc.
