Haha, I just mucked about for a few minutes again trying to connect it and found someone online mentioning to hold the (Y) button when turning an 8BitDo controller on. It worked! Came back here and you have mentioned it! It wasn't in my instructions as its a new feature in the firmware. I was sure you must have photographed the wrong controller. I was wrong.
What fun we have all had in the end!
My review is that this is a great controller. It has a clicky D-Pad, but I think I prefer those. The (A) button is printed on the bottom button, but you can get used to it as its still on the right in game. It has no wake button, but I do hope they can add it in later firmware. I also have the £25 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Bluetooth Controller which is half the price that you mention at the start of the article that I'll continue to use for Switch 2 and 1. This one I'll still use for Steam.

Wow, OK, I'm wrong then. I updated both after I read the article. Maybe the firmware didn't take. I'll try again.
