Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Controller Pair - Neon Red/Neon Blue (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

However, this design choice does not mean Joy-Con controllers are completely incompatible with the Switch Lite. Older computers might not have Bluetooth connectivity, which will limit your ability to play computer games with updated controllers. This means four pairs of Joy-Cons (or eight if you're playing them individually), and up to two controller hubs (each of which supports four controllers, again adding up to eight).

This story is part of 12 Days of Tips, helping you make the most of your tech, home and health during the holiday season. An upgrade from the previous model, it has the usual Switch features that mean you can use it either docked to your TV or on the move as a portable handheld games console.

The Joy-Con's are great when you have visitors or want to play a game with the family, which you want to play with more than 2 people. If you are only using one, flip it sideways and hit the little L and R buttons located on the railing. On the following screen you'll be asked to press 'L' and 'R' on the controller you want to pair - these are the buttons on the 'shoulders' of the controller (named after the side of the controller they are on - Left or Right). Use each Joy-Con individually: You will use each Joy-Con in the sideways configuration as a standalone wireless controller.

Install a third-party app such as BetterJoy that allows your computer to understand controller inputs. I played a few rounds without any issues even though Joy-Cons are not listed as an officially supported controller for Xbox Cloud Gaming. From the main home screen, navigate to the fourth icon along the bottom ('Controllers') and select it.To reflect on such an eventful year, we've decided to take on the role of teacher and hand each company a final grade for 2023. Or, if you purchased another Joy-Con recently, it’s probably free of whatever bug plagued earlier versions. This is pushed onto the controllers not only providing them with better ergonomics and more grip, but also two shoulder buttons and a hand loop in case you really get into your game.

It can, for example, recognise the shape of the hand in the game Rock, Paper, Scissors, which is just cool and definitely the future we all imagined a decade ago. A well-cared item that has seen limited use but remains in great condition ideally with the original packaging. First, press and hold down the black pairing button on top of the Joy-Con until the green light starts running back and forth.Alternatively, they can be used independently when you’re playing with a friend, or with one Joy-Con in each hand for interactive single player challenges.
