Before attempting to connect your Xbox One controller through Bluetooth, verify that it is already Bluetooth-enabled. Microsoft offers many variants of the controller, one of which does not have Bluetooth. Fortunately, there is an easy method to determine whether your gamepad supports Bluetooth: if it has shiny plastic surrounding the Xbox button, it does not. If the bottom of the device has a 3.5mm headphone socket, this is another clue that it has Bluetooth and will operate. Fear not if you own one of the newer Xbox Series controllers, since they all support Bluetooth.
To begin pairing the controller, power it on while pressing the Xbox button in the centre. Once it is illuminated, click and hold the connect button on the controller’s top edge until the Xbox logo begins to glow rapidly. This signifies that you are now prepared to pair. Now, just ensure that your target device (whether a phone or a computer) is in pairing mode.
Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
The Switch Pro controller is compatible with Google Chrome on your computer, both connected and wirelessly. If you prefer a wired connection, Nintendo’s controller connects through a USB-C cord.
Google describes the Switch Pro controller as incompatible with phones running Android 10 or later that support Stadia when used as a wired or wireless controller. Having said that, it performed admirably as a Bluetooth controller in our testing. Your mileage may vary, but if you already possess one, it’s worth a go.
