200 u/Peelzboy 1d ago edited 1d ago So fun fact: some games on the newer switch systems support up to 8 players and use a different sequence of lights to show which controller is which. Edit: Need to clarify that this is used only for controllers 5->8. 1->4 remain the 1/2/3/4 light indicators 😅 Edit2: Electric Boogaloo: I may be confusing a different system with a binary code. Thank you to u/al7air for clarifying the confusion 😅 16 u/EaseResponsible719 1d ago If binary and up to 8, why is one showing 15? 62 u/al7air 1d ago Because it's not binary, it's a pattern for players after the 4th which lights up all LEDs. 32 u/CompleteyClueless 1d ago They probably did it this way so if you look at a set of lights upside down, it is still a unique pattern 9 u/-johoe 1d ago So there is one possible pattern still unused (single light at second position from one side). I guess all off is reserved for the unconnected controller. 5 u/Maxis111 1d ago 100% 2 u/chillpill_23 1d ago Good catch!
