"Version 2.0 of its firmware for both controllers (available now in its Ultimate Software V2 on Windows and Mac) brings shake-to-wake support on Switch 2. Once either controller is paired with this goofy one-time procedure, you can simply turn on your gamepad, give it a little shake, then your console will wake up. I've confirmed that it works on my Switch 2 with both controllers."
"The lack of Switch 2 wake-up in 8BitDo's latest controllers was one of the reasons why I've been suggesting other models to Verge readers. At around $69.99 each, these aren't cheap. And yet, models that are considerably less expensive (like GuliKit's $29.99 ES Pro and other solid controllers) shipped months ago with the ability to wirelessly wake the Switch 2."
Third-party controller makers have implemented the ability to wirelessly wake the Switch 2 from standby. The Switch 2 Pro's ability to power the console from the couch remains a notable selling point. 8BitDo issued version 2.0 firmware for the Pro 3 and Ultimate 2, available in Ultimate Software V2 for Windows and Mac, enabling shake-to-wake after a one-time pairing procedure. The feature has been confirmed to work on a Switch 2 with both controllers. 8BitDo's controllers retail around $69.99, while less expensive models like GuliKit's $29.99 ES Pro included wake support months earlier.
