With the application JoyCon Droid you can to convert a Android phone into a remote control of Nintendo Switch, regardless of whether it is the JoyCon left as the right, even the controller Pro of the console. Do you need a new controller to play the Mario Kart or similar? The Bluetooth and JoyCon Droid work the magic.
The Nintendo Switch it has become one of the biggest successes of the company, and that the console is left with serious doubts. There is No doubt that it is a console best seller, especially thanks to its characteristics: to unite in a same device a tablet, a console laptop, desktop, and control knobs modular it works very well. And you can always add more controls so as to increase the players, even though they are not of the own Nintendo Switch. Since the mobile and the controls of the console work via Bluetooth, why not pair them?
Match the controls of the Nintendo Switch to an Android is not complicated because the process is more than simple: just search for them from the Bluetooth option of the phone and sync. But the reverse is not as simple as that you need an app that simulates the physical buttons on the screen and to pair to the console by mimicking the connection protocols; features of the that it is app JoyCon Droid, a simulator of knobs fully functional.

. We’ve tested several and have not found too many problems, yes some reluctance in the phone to be paired. With a little practice solves this problem.
Once the application is installed JoyCon Droid the process to convert the mobile phone into a mobile controller Nintendo Switch is the following:
As we said, does not work correctly on all phonestherefore it is possible that yours can’t match or don’t go the buttons. The application remains in development, it has ads and a purchase within the app to remove them (5,99 euros).
Apart from offering the use as a physical control Nintendo Switch, JoyCon Droid allows you to ‘remap’ the buttons, customize the interface of the remote control, activate the control for the accelerometers, the gyroscope and to use the NFC to read the Amiibos; apart from changing the color of the controls. Not that it can replace a JoyCon already broken that it is impossible to play with the mobile and the other JoyCon at the same time, but the application itself is useful to add a new player to Mario Kart even if you don’t have knobs, for example. And simulates the correct command Pro; for most that is far from throwing in the same quality in the control, as it is logical.
