Some devices known to have issues connecting to the Switch:
To ensure compatibility with JoyCon Droid, your Android device must have Android 9 (Pie) or a higher version and support Bluetooth HID Profiles. You can check for support using the [https://joycon.gitbook.io/joycondroid/other-projects/bluetooth-hid-profile-tester Tester app], but some devices, such as those made by OnePlus, Motorola, Huawei, LG, Sony, and Xiaomi, may not have support for [https://joycon.gitbook.io/joycondroid/other-projects/bluetooth-hid-profile-tester#if-the-tester-app-fails Bluetooth HID Profiles by default]. You can still try installing JoyCon Droid for those devices if the Tester app fails.
*Samsung Galaxy A50/A51 (A custom ROM or different software version is likely to help).


Root with Magisk is necessary to change the Bluetooth Device Class with the Bluetooth++ module. You can find a [https://joycon.gitbook.io/joycondroid/guide/bluetoothpp guide for this] or change your Android's Bluetooth MAC address to a real JoyCon that you have already paired with the Switch. Note that the JoyCon Droid app does not require root, but the workarounds to get paired with the Switch do.
For the complete guide please refer to the [https://joycon.gitbook.io/joycondroid/faq official website].


For Samsung devices or devices with Bluetooth HID_DEV_MTU_SIZE 512, you can use JoyCon Droid without rooting. However, this feature is only available on LineageOS 16.0 or higher based custom ROMs built after September 7th, 2020. Unfortunately, there is no way to check for this feature on your device yet.
