Joy-Con Left (Neon Blue) (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

If your Switch is in the same room as your PC, I recommend turning it off, just to keep your Bluetooth environment clear. It’s also possible that neither of those theories is correct or that it’s a combination of factors that cause stick drift over time. You can confirm that the controller is connected, however, by looking at your computer’s Bluetooth settings. That’s great for two-player games, but it makes them useless for playing anything complex, like a first-person shooter. Before you connect your Nintendo Switch controller to your laptop or another Android device, you should make sure that you’ve got a Bluetooth receiver and that both objects are relatively close together.

Add a splash of style to your Nintendo Switch™ console with Joy-Con™ controllers and Joy-Con straps. The steps are essentially the same as connecting the Joy-Cons, so check the bullet points above for the exact method. Step 4: Look for the Joy-Con in your computer’s Bluetooth menu, and select the option to pair it with your device. While the rest of its launch lineup wasn’t as impressive, Nintendo capitalized fairly quickly with titles like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Splatoon 2.Both of these controllers are also suited to play games through your PC’s emulator, which is handy if you like to play old-school Nintendo games on modern technology. Step 2: Next, plug in your Switch Pro Controller with a USB cable, and you’ll be asked to register it as well as calibrate the built-in gyro sensor for motion control in certain games. Others have taken the more drastic step of fully replacing the joystick entirely — a far more difficult fix that will void your warranty, if it works at all. Some users have noted that their Joy-Con are no longer snapping into their Switch for handheld mode and instead slip straight out.

We’ve had emulators for game consoles on PCs for years, but every new gaming console launch comes with the challenge of adapting the latest technology for PC gaming.g. due to dropping the system, then the Joy-Con becomes at risk of sliding out of place during normal use. Step 3: Hold the Sync button on the Joy-Cons, located between the SR and SL buttons, until the LED lights start flashing.
