    Bro this helped me soooo much. I was getting stumped until I found this guide. Wanted to pair a JoyCon L + Ragnok 2 mouse, but couldn't get the JoyCon detected on the PC. Your guide finally got me the breakthrough I needed, so this is awesome!

    If anyone is having the issue were once you connect the 2nd controller it starts an endless loop of Pairing/connected
    Try pressing the sync button on the working joycon to turn it off, and then press any botton (On Both) joycons at the same time, for me atleast, this fixed the issue and made em both connect.

    It managed to connect both joycons even though there wasn't option on steam that said "combine joycons" and when I attempted to play a game controller were acting random pushing jump button and acted like I pushed switch weapon and moved camera when I actually moved move joycon and I noticed one joycon lights were flashing nonstop when at first both joycons were in sync with only one light on.

    • @ChupacabraTutorials
      @ChupacabraTutorials  Před 10 měsíci

      They are kinda fickle. To get mine to behave the first time I did a video about them, I had to pair them a couple of times. Alternatively if you have the charging grip so they charge while you play, it lets them talk to the computer.

      @ChupacabraTutorials  Před 9 měsíci

      When testing my own joycons. It could be iffy sometimes and I was never able to nail down a way to make them work more reliably when connected wirelessly. I did have a charging grip holder from when I bought my switch, it allows me to plug them both into my computer. You could try that.
