Turn off controller & Restart console.

Turn controller on, press Pair button and Select Controller Select on Switch 2

Mine links now and also work 100%

R2200 saved. The Dongle firmware is also there but I use Bluetooth so dont care about 2.4 update.

Sidenote: Diablo 2 also works now. So dont know if it was my 4G or something else.

How do you tell if it's V1 or V2? I got last year April from TAL, which I think was about the same time as you?

Looks like button arrangement is different for the center cluster as per the pics.

Thanks for that. I've got the V1. Down to R899 on TAL as well, they are pretty groovy and for that price is a steal.

Looking to get into the Nintendo ecosystem really only for Zelda. Is the Switch 2 worth the price if I only want Zelda or should I look at the Switch 1/ OLED or Lite rather? Used to play Pokemon as a kid so might get that as well, but Zelda looks amazing!

Zelda will be epic on the Switch 2. If you haven't played it I'd say go with the Switch 2 to play it. If your budget is tight, it plays well on a v1 switch too.

Tks. Yeah, budget is good! I have a PS5 but its gathering dust tbh. Since Elden Ring there isn't anything catching my eye. I played Black Myth Wukong recently but couldn't get into it so looking at a Nintendo.

As others has said, both BotW and TotK alone are worth the price of admission. That you have two to play just sweatens the deals.

Hundreds of hours of gameplay waiting for you. They were both fantastic on Switch so imagine they will be perfection on Switch 2
 
Is it me or did Nintendo pull a PlayStation Plus on the "Free" upgrades for Zelda.
ie: You can only have access to the enhanced editions as long as your sub is Active?

That Said: my word does NS2 BoTW look stunning. If above is true I might be willing to Part with R180 to keep the upgrade.

My 2nd pair of JoyCons has no drift (yet). My Pro Controller (2nd hand) occasionally drifts after nearly 5 years of use.

The OG JoyCons that came with my 2nd hand Switch drifted like crazy. My brother fixed those.

The insides of the S2 JoyCons look nearly identical to the S1, with only that difficult to remove metal thingy in there. Maybe that's the Nintendo remedy?
 
Question, does anyone else have issues bringing the device out of sleep.

Place it in sleep mode.

Go eat, wash dishes.

Come back press the home button. Nothing. Keep the Home button in, nothing.
HDHD(Just a kak attitude) kicks in, press press press press press press press press press press press press

AH Screen lights up.
