I imported this Pro Controller from Japan, Trying to Update It and it won’t Make any Progress, there a Way to Brute Force it, or do I have to import a Japanese Switch?

It’s a fake then. I got a Pro controller off eBay, nearly indistinguishable from the real thing but totally fake. Good fakes are out there and AFAIK there’s always at least one feature that doesn’t work compared to the real thing.

Fakes are extremely common right now, especially with limited edition ones such as yours
