That’s why Xbox controllers are the most widely supported option for PC gaming. Many modern games only support Xinput, while others may just have better support for Xinput than DirectInput. Whether you use a Joy-Con or Pro Controller, one problem you’ll find is that the controller uses the older DirectInput method instead of the newer Xinput input method, which is used by Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers. Go into the program’s input menu and configure the controller however you like. Whichever type of controller you use, you can configure it to function in many games or emulators. The Pro Controller will work better in many PC games and emulators, as it has all the standard buttons a typical full controller would have, including two analog sticks and an D-pad. An enterprising geek may one day make a program that can combine them and allow you to use them as a single controller, but sadly, right now we’re stuck waiting. You’ll be stuck using the Joy Con controllers as separate small controllers, just as you use them in two-player mode in various games on the Nintendo Switch. Just open the Bluetooth interface and long-press the Sync button on the controller to pair it like any other device. This trick also works on Macs and Android devices. RELATED: How to Pair a Bluetooth Device to Your Computer, Tablet, or Phone You’ll see each controller appear in the Add a device screen when you long-press its Sync button. Repeat this process if you want to pair more than one controller-for example, if you want to pair both Joy-Cons. However, you can clearly see that a Joy-Con is connected to your PC from the Bluetooth window, as it’s displayed in the list of connected devices. Oddly enough, the lights on a Joy-Con will continue to blink even after it’s connected to your PC.

Select it in the menu to connect it to your PC. You’ll see the Joy-Con or Pro Controller appear in your computer’s Bluetooth menu. The controller will be in pairing mode after you long-press the Sync button.
