Yes via shake to wake. U have to update the firmware on the device via the Ultimate Software then pair via Bluetooth and follow some steps during the pairing process

I updated the firmware paired, still doesn't work for me. I've read through various threads and didn't see anything obvious I missed. Does the wake reliably work for you?

Did u update the firmware on a PC? I believe the iOS/Android app will not update appropriately for this. Here are instructions via Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Controller/s/W7kmGKJc17

Great price. I just bought this 2 weeks ago and paid full price. Been working great for my Switch 2. I like it better than the Switch 2 Pro controller.

Make sure you turn on allow Beta Releases in the app settings or you won't get the latest one that works best on the latest update. nintendo did push an update that broke whatever method 8bitdowas using, I think the beta might help it even if its not perfect yet. Haven't spent the time to check it out thoroughly.

Bought four of these to go with a switch 2 from AKNES official store for Christmas, and they are fantastic. Love the docks.

Can you reprogram the x and y buttons to swap?

The buttons are magnetic. You can pop them out with the tool provided and physically swap them. Or you can do it with software but you need a PC.

Do you own this device? I'm having trouble confirming the buttons are swappable

I own 2 of these (switch version) and the buttons are not swappable.

I believe that's a different 8bitdo controller.

I have both and much prefer this one.

It fits better in my hands(YMMV) and I prefer the offset sticks over the playstation style.
