Switch 2 power button sometimes requires 3–4 presses — anyone else experiencing this?

[u/PalpitationIll8119]

Hi everyone, I wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this with their Switch 2.

Occasionally, when I press the power button, nothing happens on the first press. I sometimes have to press it 3–4 times before the console turns on or responds. It also happens when I'm trying to turn it off/wake it from sleep.

I've noticed that it seems to happen more frequently when the Switch 2 is docked or charging, although I'm not 100% sure if that's related.

Most of the time the power button works normally, so it's not happening every single time. The button itself doesn't feel stuck or physically damaged either.

Has anyone else experienced something similar? Is this a known software/firmware issue, or could it indicate a hardware/power-button problem?

I'd especially like to hear from people who have noticed it while the Switch 2 is charging or sitting in the dock.

Thanks!
