Nintendo’s Switch controllers work with PCs, Macs, and Android

A French game-reporting website Nintendoactu reported on its Twitter handle that both Joy-Con controllers can be used effectively with a PC. But aftermarket software can probably change that later on, depending on how much interest there is from the developer community in building out support.

So yes, you will have to spend an extra 70 dollars to play your Swtich games with a normal controller, but at least Nintendo appreciates your purchase.

The JoyCon controllers on the Nintendo Switch can presently be paired with a desktop or a Mac and even with an Android device, using Bluetooth.

Nintendo has received an overwhelming response for its recently launched console the Switch in the North American markets.

Given it’s an issue that directly affects the gameplay experience, Nintendo has started looking into the matter, and the early signs suggest wireless devices in close proximity to the console could be the cause. At present, you can only use one Joy-Con to play a game, rather than using two at the same time to act like a complete gamepad.

Do the Joy-Cons work with PC?

Nintendo’s Switch surpassed 313,700 consoles sold in Japan in its first week, according to weekly Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu (via Yuji Nakamura).

However, the veracity of such a claim from Nintendo can not be tested as there was no public data available for the Wii’s sales over its debut weekend. Will Nintendo be able to sustain this momentum, however?

Unfortunately, the said Nintendo Switch problem was caused by a hardware failure, something that a software update can not fix. Unfortunately, due to the high latency of these, it is not possible to use them correctly when playing. A check of Craigslist found several of the consoles for sale, but you are going to pay a premium.

This is a common question we are hearing as gamers spend more time using the new Nintendo Switch.
