Aside from the GameCube controller issues, the other major fix the latest Switch update introduces relates to some network functions, such as downloading during sleep mode, not working as expected.
Additionally, the latest patch update introduces “general system stability improvements” as expected. You can read the full English patch notes for the Nintendo Switch version 19.0.1 update from the Nintendo America customer support website.
