Nintendo Wireless Game Controller – FCC Certification
This new wireless game controller from Nintendo that is expected to be released for the brand’s Switch 2 hybrid video game console carries the model number of ‘BEE-021’, and it has received the FCC certification with the FCC ID of ‘BKEBEE021’. The device is said to have obtained the registration on the 14th of March 2025, and it is pointed out to use spread spectrum technology, operate in the 2.4 GHz band, and have an output power of about 4.3 mW, as per the test by UL Japan, Inc. [Bluetooth frequency of operation: 2402 MHz ~ 2480 MHz; Supported modulations: BR/EDR/BT LE; Antenna type: PCB antenna; Antenna connector type: PCB integrated]
To note, additional documents which includes manuals, internal and external photographs, as well as test reports were all submitted too during the device’s certification process, but as of now these files (few of them) are temporarily kept under seal. Similar to all regulatory processes that involve sensitive information, the release of these details and information are scheduled for a later time, in September 2025.
Based on the code – ‘BEE’ in the device’s model number, it is suggested that this device could potentially be a GameCube controller, and as mentioned above, it should be released for the soon-to-be-unveiled Nintendo Switch 2. The position of the approval label and the absence of NFC connectivity further reiterates the possibility.
About the Nintendo Switch 2, it will be hitting the market soon this year in 2025 (May/June 2025 as per reports) and is the successor to the original Nintendo Switch that was unveiled in March 2017. Check out more about the upcoming device here.
