SW8581 8585 8580 Pro Controllers for Switch Activation Instruction
Apr
With the latest firmware upgrading of Switch, the Pro Controllers modes SW8581 8585 and 8580 are affected. You can follow this link to activate your above-mentioned devices. The estimated number of the affected third-party controllers is around 10 million pieces. Stoga branded controllers are merely affected since we use more advanced architectures.
Important Notice:
As the Switch Host updates the 12.0 version, it may cause the third-party controllers to fail to work. If your wireless pro controller cannot connect to the Switch host, please follow the steps to update your Switch controller.
Instructions:
Step 1: When the Nintendo Switch dock is worked on, turn on the Switch console, put it in the switch dock, and enter the main interface.
Step 2: Connect the Controller to the Switch dock with a Type-C cable.
Step 3: When the controller indicator is on, press the A button to connect. When the connection is successful, unplug the Type-C cable, and the controller can automatically connect to the console.
Step 4: When the console is off, press the HOME button to reconnect in wake-up mode.
Video Instruction:
I’ve followed all the steps required for wireless play, but my controller is still unable to connect wirelessly. I’ve looked up several ways to get my controller to connect, but none of them have worked. Could I have some assistance? I’m using the 8580-A (V1.2) model (I think? That’s what the user manual that came with the controller says at the top)
Has it been upgraded?
I have the model 8580-A and can’t connect to my pc or android devices.
Can you provide a related video?

Please read this article, which explains how to upgrade.

Testing the new releases of NSO expansion pack, I realized that my nook pro controller rumbles no-stop on n64 games… I’ve seen owners of other brand controllers complain as well. Is there an firmware update planned?
Thank you for your feedback, we will consider this in subsequent updates.
Thanks!
How do i do this without docking? I am trying to connect it to a switch mini
You only need to wire the controller to the switch host, follow the steps to upgrade, and then you can connect to the switch lite.
Which firmware update should I use for your switch controller No 8581?
I can´t find any downloads.
There is no download, just follow the update steps guided in this article.
I’ve tried this and it still doesn’t sync without the cable. I’ve connected it and pressed the A button, then when I take it off to sync it doesn’t do it. I don’t know what else to do.
Wired link is required for the first connection after the upgrade
Then it can be connected wirelessly
I have also tried the above steps and my controller still is not connecting
Can you show me how you do it? If it is determined that the problem is with the controller, we can replace you with a new one.
I have two Stoga Wireless Controller 8581 and a Switch Oled with the latest software. I can’t connect both controllers to my switch no matter what method I use. What’s the solution here? thank you
Did you update?
I have also tried the above steps and both of my controllers and still is not connecting
