Hello.
First I did the eyeglass search icon and typed in “Nintendo switch not recognizing Brooke Universal” (only using the quotes here not in the actual search).
There were zero entries on SRK.
I try plugging in the USB both before I turned on the switch and after.
Apparently I have to hit the sync button, but I thought the sink was only a Wireless activation button. Meaning in terms of gameplay the sync button does nothing. It just turns on and off the wireless mode.
But this is a USB wired Brook Universal.
I tried going to the control section I tried pairing controllers and tried finding controllers obviously there’s no buzzer in it so I can’t feel the rumble. I tried everything and asks on the TV, but nothing works.
If bad comes to worse, I could use it in GameCube mode, but I would prefer not to. I do own an official Nintendo Wii U / Switch GameCube port adapter. It works perfectly fine for my sinister modded Street Fighter 15 stick with a PS2 to GameCube adapter.
Brook UFB manual console selection for Switch:
Press and hold K1 on plug in, and release.
This emulates the Wii-U Pokken controller, which is compatible on the Switch (no Home button functionality, though).
Make sure Wire Pro Controllers are enabled in the Switch options.

Thank you.
When you say k1, you mean whatever in Street Fighter is designated quick kick for optimists, light kick according to Capcom panels, or, for those Mortal Kombat fans who insult the concept of the strategic aspects of a light yet quick kick, the “tickle kick”.
I guess I can look for Brook keys for corresponding systems online.
Now we got the issue of timing. The QK should be held at what moment? when power goes on, or when the USB is connection is made.
With a DB37 hookup It takes 2 hands one to put in the plug and one to hold the stick steady.
Only Goro can do this by himself. Oro, however would have an ever harder time than me.
I guess I can install a pause lock/kill switch with a 3 way switcher. Neutral is kill. Another is a pause lock. And a third is full mode.
Put it in kill, then the switch on the stick to full while pressing quick kick.
You just need to hold what ever button while plugging the USB cable in to manually engage what ever console mode you want. It been that way since long before Brooks entered the scene.
Brooks is just following existing conventions.
You don’t need a crazy 3 way switch with a kill mode, just use 2 hands, one on your stick and one on the plug.
Well, there are 2 places to connect the PCB, either at the USB A end. Of the DB37 end.
The DB37 is hefty enough where you need 2 hands to plug in.
The USB A end is very far from the controller
Either way, you’re (maybe not you, but I’m) going to need a second person to simultaneously plug in and press QK, or turn on and QK,.
I was going to have a tournament lock for the start/OS button any way.
Most people bring the stick close to the console, hold the button, then plug the USB-A end into the console.
It REALLY doesn’t really matter where you’re connecting it when you’re holding down the button. Whatever works for you; sounds like you’re overthinking this.

Hi. You need to hold LK (the first kick button; X on the PS1/PS2/PS3/PS4, A on the Xbox360/XboxOne, B on the Switch) while connecting the controller to the Switch, to force Switch mode. Auto-detection doesn’t work (at least for me).
I know I’m overthinking it. I made an ambidextrous stick that’s supposed to work with lots of systems.
By box is a little bulky, and has a "middle attachment that’s way to long.
I understand I painted myself in a corner. Based on the geography of the main room I play it, that would be tough. To reach the USB A connector and the QK button together. …
By the way, will it work if I “wake it up” at the same time I need to hold QK, or must it be COMPLETELY off and not just sleeping?
If so. Just take the - Joycon which is wireless, hold QK, then press “wake up”.
I hope the above solution works. Save some $$$$$$$.
No it doesn’t work that way. You need to hold K1 on your stick, not any controller that’s synced to the system.
Sorry if I was being unclear.
I meant well holding the minus Joycon, hold quick stick on the custom fightstick, and then wake up the switch by hitting the home button on the minus joycon. Then release quick kick.
Trying that now.
Yes you could plug everything in while it’s unplugged use the minus Joy con as like a remote starter key, hold down quick kick on your controller, and while holding it down press the home button to start the machine.
My joystick works perfectly fine because of it.
Now I got to put paper overlays over my layout, so I can have system IDs and for the Xbox one to 10 buttons and stick directions representing the numbers.
Good now I don’t have to make any fancy kill switch. Good thing I thought of using the minus Joy con as a remote starter
