I’m wondering if I should go for a replacement or what.

I can’t get the Switch 2 to wake even if I hold the controllers 1cm away and hit the home screen. I know it’s not supposed to work from the old pro controllers any more, but not even from the included joycons? And since it doesn’t recognize my TV’s HDMI-CEC either, the only way to wake this damn thing while it’s docked is to walk over and turn it on. And to make matters worse, the range of the controllers is a lot worse and they keep disconnecting. I didn’t have these problems with the Switch 1.

Is it just me?

    It works fine on my console. If a firmware update doesn’t fix it, it’s probably worth contacting Nintendo support and see if you can send it in for repair, or better yet just get an exchange from the retailer you bought it from. It’s not certain to be a hardware issue, but at the same time it’s not out of the picture on an early production piece of hardware.
