It does not, even after the latest firmware update.

I'm guessing Nintendo changed the wake from sleep command on Switch 2 to force it to only work on Switch 2 devices (Switch 2 joycons, Switch 2 pro controller, etc). All other inputs remain the same, which is why Switch 1 controllers still work.

It may be possible in the future with newer firmware updates, but it will likely lock the controller to a specific platform (IE: Only wakes Switch 2, doesn't work on Switch 1 unless you revert the firmware). This is all speculation, but I don't doubt the possibility, especially once third party Switch 2 Pro controllers hit the market.
Why does nintendo always have to be dickish towards consumers, This is a rhetorical question I know why. $$$$$. nintendo fans don't care or know that they are in an abusive relationship.

Please tell us which layout you are a fan of 🙄

8bitdo also has SNES, XBox shaped gamepads.

The Pro3 has rearrangeable Magnetic ABXY buttons for people with OCD. I did not see if they will have PS Triangle, Square, Circle, X buttons.

Ridiculous that they've effective put waking a system behind a paywall.

I bought the black variant the last time these controllers went on sale towards the end of May, and I could've sworn it was at a cheaper price.

Great product. But the price isn't great. It's been cheaper before. So like someone else said if you can wait then wait. Or if you like a different layout there have been other great deals on other great 8 bit do controllers.

ok... it's only $3 difference which is still a deal compared to the usual price. knowing you got it on sale before doesn't help me now.
