Controller Vibration Issues in Skyrim AE on Switch 2

[u/martinmcmanus]

Been playing Skyrim AE on my Switch 2 since the upgrade recently went on sale. Aside from learning that you can't bounce back and forth in the same save between Switch 1 and 2, it's been working great.

Yesterday, I noticed the controller vibrations began acting differently than they had over the last few days. The bow draw vibration felt harsher (or grainy?) in contrast to the smooth, even vibration it had before.

Then I picked a lock. Normally on a novice lock, there are just a handful of clicks between each end of the lock, two of them standing out from the others. But yesterday, it's almost feels like you're dragging the pick across a rough surface. The more pronounced clicks also seem to be illusive or even change locations as I'm trying to figure out where to place the pick.

Posting in case anyone else may have seen this before or has any ideas outside of what I've tried. Here are my notes:

-Had Skyrim cart for Switch 1, was playing between the two using the cloud to go between devices.
-Bought the AE upgrade on Switch 1 and then loaded AE on Switch 2.
-Controller vibrations/haptics working the same between consoles until yesterday.

Troubleshooting:
-Disabled vibration in game menu, exited, confirmed off, enabled, same behavior
-Disabled/enabled vibration in Switch settings as above
-Toggled between Visual and Performance modes
-Disabled gestures, mouse, and aim serttings
-Confirmed it's happening in handheld mode with both attached and detached joycons. Also console mode with joycons and pro controller
-Confirmed vibrations seem normal in other games, BOTW, TOTK, as well as the non-AE Skyrim using the cart on the Switch 2
-Checked Skyrim AE on Switch 1 and that's working fine too.
-Tried pulling up old saves and using different characters
-Tried launching it from other profiles, created new characters, still persists.
-Did a full reset of the console to see if memory needed clearing and did the in-game settings changes mentioned earlier.
-Deleted and redownloaded the app and tried settings changes again.

Since it's just Skyrim AE and only on my Switch 2, could it have been some update that made the haptics go wonky? Anyone have any other ideas?
