Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers work on Windows, Mac, and Android devices

Nintendo recently released the Nintendo Switch home console which include two controllers known as the joy-cons. The joy-con’s just like the Nintendo Wii’s Wii-remotes are synced to the console via bluetooth.

Unlike the Wii Remotes the joycons can be used on multiple platforms including Windows, Mac and Android without any special drivers.

It’s exciting to see how these joycons could be used on existing platforms as well as new home made android and raspberry pi projects.
