May I also ask what is the exact make and model of your controller?

2024-09-28T18:30:59+00:00 Sorry, I wasn't too clear on my instructions. If you're using a desktop, please try on the front ports, or if you have one, try a non USB 3.0 port.
Have you also tried the drivers on this link? https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comment...
