marble tree Can someone help about this. I have IOS 16 beta.

Did you enter pairing mode on your controller?

marble tree Jul 31, 2022, 1:34 PM

#

Yes

high herald Jul 31, 2022, 1:34 PM

#

Doing so by press and hold the pairing button on top of the Pro con till the light under the controller flashes

marble tree Jul 31, 2022, 1:34 PM

#

İf i didnt it didnt show

high herald Jul 31, 2022, 1:34 PM

#

But you did it like what I just said, right?

#

Also is it an official Pro con made by Nintendo? Can you take a pic?

marble tree Jul 31, 2022, 1:35 PM

#

Yes

#

Ofc i am going to add some pic

high herald Jul 31, 2022, 1:36 PM

#

I have to ask because sometime people confuse it with any controllers that are compatible with the Switch

#

Apparently it's due to retailer worker telling people that.

marble tree Jul 31, 2022, 1:37 PM

#

İ am not sure but it looks like original the joystick have the easter egg btw

#

high herald Jul 31, 2022, 1:38 PM

#

The Easter Egg isn't exactly a good indicator anymore

#

oh yeah it at least looks like the Xeno Pro con

marble tree Jul 31, 2022, 1:38 PM

#

Btw it wakes up the switch form sleeping mode

high herald Jul 31, 2022, 1:38 PM

#

There are counterfeit on the market though

high herald Jul 31, 2022, 1:38 PM

#

marble tree Btw it wakes up the switch form sleeping mode

Counterfeit pro con can do that nowadays

#

But that's beyond the point

#

Assuming this is a real Pro con, then it should work

#

let's try something

marble tree Jul 31, 2022, 1:39 PM

#

How we can be sure

high herald Jul 31, 2022, 1:39 PM

#

Well

#

How much did you pay for it?

#

and where did you buy it?

marble tree Jul 31, 2022, 1:39 PM

#

Let me cal

#

İn a marketing site popular in turkey

#

Like 50-60 dollars

high herald Jul 31, 2022, 1:39 PM

#

That's close to the original price, yes

marble tree Jul 31, 2022, 1:40 PM

#

İs there something specific we can know

high herald Jul 31, 2022, 1:40 PM

#

Yes

#

but it's not easy

WHO'S THAT CONTROLLER??

§ Pro Controller is a full size controller, made by Nintendo for the Switch. Aside from this model (and its Special editions), all other controllers are not Pro Controller. There is a misconception that all Switch-compatible controllers are called Pro controllers.

⚠︎ There are many Counterfeit Pro Controller on the market. They lack features and often have lower quality compare to the original. In order to identify a Counterfeit Pro Controller, you can check on these differences:
･ Outer appearance: Missing Nintendo Switch logo on the box or the front of the controller, lacking the Easter-egg thx2 allgamefans!, wrong prints on the battery and battery's compartment (Original battery).
･ Lacking features (Order from least to most likely to be missing): Motion control, NFC reader for Amiibo, wake up Switch from sleep (by holding the Home button), HD Rumble.

So far, the best way to test is to check on HD Rumble feature. You can compare the rumble to a joy-con or real Pro con in games that support HD Rumble. Or better, open the controller and see if the rumble motor is similar to the original HD Rumble motor.. You can also use Joy-con toolkit to see if it can identify your controller's serial number.

#

Just do what I instructed earlier

#

It might be a problem with bluetooth discovery, not something to do with compatibility

#

Damn, so this is a new feature for iOS16

#

that's why my tag was outdated

marble tree Jul 31, 2022, 6:58 PM

#

İm so sorry

marble tree İm trying some people have same problem with me

Have you tried what I suggested though?

marble tree Jul 31, 2022, 7:12 PM

#

Yes i tried that now i am installing the update

high herald Jul 31, 2022, 7:12 PM

#

marble tree Yes i tried that now i am installing the update

So that didn't work as well eh?

#

The addition of joycon/pro con support is very recent, only on iOS16, so I guess it's not that stable yet.

#

Unfortunately I cant help testing it

marble tree Jul 31, 2022, 7:15 PM

#

Yeah:(
