Rick Dangerous Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Has anyone tried this yet? Supposedly it works and according to some articles i've seen "may be the best android controller solution yet" I just wonder how it works with games that are touch screen, etc. Going to give it a try myself soon and will report back.

Punisher5.0 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I heard about this but haven't tried it yet. I don't have a single game on my phone though so I probably never will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Given the long battery life and the relative small size of both, especially one joycon yeah it would be a hell of a good option to use. Price wise at $40 it's fairly on par with other bluetooth mini controllers too that don't suck. No time now I may just try it later on my Shield Tablet, the irony on that one if it worked. (and iphone 5s.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Its too small in my opinion. As for touch it won't work. Use an ouya controller for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I looked, easy answer in seconds. Yes -- PC, Mac/iOS, and Android https://techcrunch.com/2017/03/06/nintendo-switch-joy-con-and-pro-controllers-work-on-pc-mac-and-android/ Currently each one detects as a controller, but not as one unified device like on Switch. Given their durability and small size, looks like a solid choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I am wondering about the buttons though. Joycon uses dual mode in vertical orientation, or single mode in horizontal orientation. Much like the Wiimote could be used horizontally or vertically, the button diamond and analog stick would need to be remapped when switching orientations, and possibly L/R need to be remapped as well. I may get a BT dongle and experiment with the Pro controller in Windoze. Pity it won't work via USB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
