Thus, you'll need to use key-mapping software like JoyToKey to set what each button on the controller does in games.Īs Xbox One and PS4 controllers already support this, this isn't a standout feature. On Windows, the Switch controller isn't detected natively like Xbox One controllers are. This lets you play multiplayer games with the two Joy-Con but won't let you combine them for single-player. The system will find the Joy-Con - if you have both in range, they're treated as two separate controllers. This will activate Bluetooth paring mode, so you simply need to open up the Bluetooth settings on your device to add it.
Since the Joy-Con controllers use Bluetooth, remove the Joy-Con from the Switch, make sure it's off, and press the small button between the ZR and ZL buttons on top of the controller for a moment.
