Saffun N64 Wireless controller won’t connect

I saw another post here and on Reddit about this, but they all had to update their USB firmware, while I did that. I believe my issue is with the controller itself.

My controller won’t show any LED outside of the sync button (shows the first light) or the menu button (shows the second light). The USB seems to be working and is recognized by the console, the controller just won’t connect to it. Is there an update file for the controller?

Hi!

A update is needed to let this work I guess.

Please check this thread: SAFFUN Wireless N64 Controller Switch 2 Troubleshooting - Computer Game Controller - iFixit

Hopefully it works for you! Otherwise you probably need to wait till a firmware update will fix it to let it work with the Switch 2.

I saw that and tried it, the switch reads the USB, but the controller itself won’t work. I think I need a different update file for the controller.

Yes probably it does. The best thing to do is to contact the seller/company. Explain the issue and ask them if there is a fix or update which can solve it. They should sent you the correct (or newest) update that should solve it.
