One of the great advantages of the latest generation consoles is the absence of cables in their controls, that not only opens a lot of doors to the compatibility of third-party devices, but also opens the most important of all, to give the controls of our console the use that we want and on the platform that we want. One of the big questions, given Nintendo's preferences for "capping" its systems, was whether the Joy-Con would be compatible with operating systems developed by other companies. Today we get you out of doubt, the Joy-Con are fully compatible with both Windows and macOS as well as Android.
Confirmation has quickly reached the network that the Joy-Con are compatible with other systems. In fact, the first and most obvious of the comparisons has been made on a Windows 10 PC, where the Joy-Con are detected through the Bluetooth connection as if it were any controller. In some games it has worked without further complication, however, in other games they have decided to use software in charge of assigning certain functionalities to the buttons so that the correct commands are executed without creating any type of error.
Easier is if it fits in macOS, where the operating system recognizes the controllers of the Nintendo Switch as any other Bluetooth controller, reach, connect and execute. The same is exactly what happens with Android, we will simply have to pair the Joy-Con with our device to be able to enjoy a small and manageable controller with which to have a great time. A curious initiative, in this way we can play video games on our Android device when the Nintendo Switch runs out of its very poor battery while playing on the portable version. A point in favor of the big N to make the controls fully compatible.
