Thanks again for the confirmation, I guess an RMA is in my future.

Just to confirm 100% that I'm alone on this. You are waking the Switch 2 wirelessly with the joycons while it is asleep in its dock, yes?

Sounds like we are in a similar boat as regards range. Bummer.

Thanks so much for the idea to update the controller firmware. Hadn't tried that. I'm surprised that this could be a hardware issue but I'm glad to figure it out early.

 

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?
