    Make sure the USB C behind the dock clicks when you push it in. Spent a solid 10 mins trying to debug this.

    For the buttons(switch layout) you can easily remap them for pc/xbox.
    This is seriously the best controller i had.
    And yeah i also had the xbox elite controller.
    But the Ultimate bluetooth version is seriously zo user friendly and everything about it is just soo good.

    Is it also the bluetooth version? Because I bought the bluetooth with 2.4g, it works well with 2.4g. However, in bluetooth mode, it can be connected but it does not register any inputs at all. : (( I bought the bluetooth version so I can connect it seamlessly with pc(with 2.4g) and my phone (with bluetooth).

      There's no nintendo switch variant as far as I know. Mine is just the same as everybody else's, the "Ultimate Controller".
