when my brother tries to plugin his switch pro controller to his pc, the pc doesnt recognize that its attached to the system at all and shows no charge light.. but if i plug my controller into it , it does.
If i take his controller, and plug it into my computer, his controller does work.. what can be causing this.. the controller obviously works, the cables work, whats causing his to be not seen at all on his pc, but sees mine.. and works on my pc?

Possibly dirty usb ports. Make sure there's no dust, lint, or corrosion in either ends of the cables and ports. I once had some pocket lint get packed into my type C port on my Samsung S9, and it kept my phone from charging or being seen on a PC. Took one of those green dental pick toothpicks to get the lint out without shorting the pins inside.

    I just dislike that they don't let me choose the voices before the game starts. Happened with botw as well, had to change to japanese and restart.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    But the important question is can you choose gender

    Same way you can choose Gerald's gender.
