What's the deal with the dock and wired controllers? I'm having a hard time getting the Switch to just pick up on my wired controllers. It feels almost random as to when the Switch decides that it wants to acknowledge them. Is there some method or should I just endure and hope this gets fixed in a future update?

First you have to go to options in the menu and set usb wired controls on, then you just plug it into any of the two slots and it should work. Maybe your usb c cable has problems? :unsure:

    You don't have to use the tv usb, any USB 5v will power it. USB extention cables are not cheap either, so this would be cheaper way.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    The coax to the tv is at the same port as the power
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    All soldered into the pcb so you can't just unscrew it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Use a cable coupler to extend it from there.

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah but you have to have extension to usb also it's the same length basically
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    They're both on the same end
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yes that's the goal but it still may not fit the wall plug from the window
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    They're cheap anyway a 10ft usb cable is $5

    Your tv may also even have an option to turn off USB power when tv off, will save a little money on power.
  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    Maybe it's just because it's two in the morning, but watching a conversation about TV power source logistics using google images and a paint app is fucking hilarious

    @BigOnYa, Be prepared for Blu-ray rewritable discs to skyrocket on eBay. Luckily I still have some blanks, but not Sony, rather these are from Verbatim.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They used to be really expensive about $20 for a pack of 10 until they began to cost less. The blanks that I bought were $5.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    That was because the box was damaged. :P
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I prefer Verbatim media also myself. I have not burned anything in years tho. Still have bunch dual layer DVDs prob never use, and CD's. USB Thumb drives and NAS drive all I use anymore.
