Your mobile becomes the remote control of the Nintendo Switch with this app

Over the years, we have seen how smartphones have gradually replaced many appliances and devices, from watches to alarm clocks, passing by the portfolio or the game consoles. Yes, it is true that many players prefer to use a console or desktop laptop instead of a mobile.

But even in that case, the smartphone comes in our help, at least if we have a Nintendo Switch and we need a controller extra.

That is what makes JoyCon Druid, an application that we can download from the Google Play Store, and that turns our smartphone into a remote control.

JoyCon right, left, or command Pro

This new application, which is in the testing phase, allows you to pair our mobile phone to the console via bluetooth and make you believe that it is one of the controllers official.

This is a perfect pair to be able to play titles co-operative where we need more control knobs to play with our friends.

We can choose the JoyCon right, the left, or even the Pro Controller.

To begin with, you will need a compatible mobile with Android 9 or higher because this version is the first that introduced the Bluetooth HID Profile, a service control interfaces via bluetooth. Once the application is installed on the mobile:

• We Open JoyCon Droid.
• We started the search by bluetooth to the console.
• Choose the type of control that we want.
• Hit the button Later.
• In the Nintendo Switch you click on the icon of the controls.
• Also in the console, click on the icon Change the order or the mode of clamping.

The console is linked to the mobile and we will be able to use the touch screen of the smartphone to control the different games that we have.

Being an alpha release there are some mobile phones that are paired, others have lag, but many work perfectly with JoyCon Droid. If you have a Switch you can give it a try.

The app is free and has advertising, although you can remove it with a integrated payment of 5.99 euros.

And if what you want is a physical control that will convert our mobile phone in a kind of Nintendo Switch, then we will have to buy this accessory.
