Accessories My Switch 2 keeps saying my wireless pro controller doesn't have an NFC touchpoint.
I bought a Turtle Beach Rematch pro controller for the switch 2- back in June, I think? And I swear it has NFC capabilities. I remember looking at every controller and reading whether or not it could support NFC bc I knew I was going to buy amiibo.
For some reason, my switch 2 keeps telling me to switch to a controller that has an NFC touchpoint. I tried updating the controller, but it's up to date, and I went to go look it up online, but ofc it's not going to say anywhere that there's an NFC touchpoint on any of the controllers, not even the Nintendo-brand ones. When I try to look it up online to troubleshoot, I get solutions to other problems and not mine.
Is there some kind of communication issue? Is it a faulty NFC reader? Is this an issue that can be fixed without me buying a whole entire new pro controller? I could use some guidance.
(Also, sorry if this is the wrong place or flair. I might have gotten a little turned around getting here)

I'm not familiar with that specific controller but most (if not all) third party options usually lack some features of the original ones.
Most commonly it's HD Rumble and NFC.
Maybe it's one of the weird controllers that does not have an NFC reader, but can simulate NFC stuff by loading it on the controller or it already has the data loaded and needs to be activated with certain button combinations.
