I'm busy trying this right now, and for some reason when I disconnect the right Joy-con to do the left one, it still shows that I'm doing the right one. I connected my previous two (my now old ones that I kinda needed to replace pretty badly...) to my computer before, but I removed them prior to starting this. That and its still showing as neon red instead of the now light blue color.
