If it still doesn't work Its probably the wire. I have a power a controller and it wouldn't work. I had another cable with the same connection laying around and it worked. The wires they give us are also cheap af.
I thought the home button wired controller would turn on nentendo switch but you said had to turn on manually. I think that is why people might think it does not work
Please help someone anyone I have the wireless one that comes with the rechargeable cable and I’ve cleaned it and looked up different vids and I’ve pressed the reset/paring button at the top to play wirelessly but it will only work if I have it plugged in now and I use to not have this problem for at least a year or so.
Bought a used one that seemed to be in decent shape. Had to get a cable for it. Cable connects. Light on the controller comes on. Nothing works on the controller. Turned on the wired controller option in the menus. And still nothing. I've done everything I can think of or has been suggested. Some online forums have suggested that there were issues after software updates. Going to try the power down trick next.
I'm not sure why, but even though I have auto update set to run on my Switch, it doesn't look like it had done it in a while. And I manually started the update. And since I don't play it as much as I'd like, I'm honestly not sure when it was last updated. Either way, it works now.
I purchased a wired Nintendo switch controller today thank u for the instructions
We did a "restart" and finally worked!
This video helped bruh all I had to do was press the cable harder in 😭😭

Correct. If I ever make another video about this controller I will start with that for sure
hard power off and back on got mine to work, not sleep mode but hold the power button down and turn off for 10 seconds then turn back on
Thank you! I was loosing my minde.

Hey I got one but I lost the one that it came with. I’m using the other one, but it’s not connecting for some reason. Can you help me?
try a new dock or a new controller if it still isnt working try a new switch

So, the wired wont wake up the switch with home button? Mine wont..
thats right. you have to press the power button on the switch or use the joy cons or a witeless controller
How do we know if the controller is on?

This is new, ive never heard this problem before but I haven't looked into the update for it yet.
I just did an update of the software. Then shut it off and turned it back on. After that it now connects and works with the dock.

My controller power button is not working and it won’t connect what should I do
get a new controller
What do I do if I don’t have a dock
If you don't have a dock then it won't work. Sorry. Best bet would be to get a wireless controller
