I got a controller and try to connect it to PC through Bluetooth, but it asks for a pin. No matter what pin you put in it just does not connect. I have even tried connecting it through the USB port to see if it register and got nowhere with that either.

It depends on the controller. Some need dongles, some are just a pain to connect, and others just don't support connecting to anything else at all.

I used to have a 3rd party Wii U Pro Controller, and even with a dongle it was unable to connect to anything other than the Wii U. So like I said- depends on what you have.

try wiinUsoft. that's how I did it, but it's official. the pro controller will not connect through normal bluetooth. it was a pita to get the controller recognized, but now, it works without issue. I guess it has detection problems when it first tries syncing, so keep trying. I was using an adapter, but now I don't have to.

Its the best invention for switch. Unless they made a gameshark😁. You can use ps4, 360, xbox one amd other controllers with your switch. But for some reason i cannot ise this switch pro 3rd party With anything, even though it is recognised by android and pc.🤷

i mean the 8bitdo's do that and are properly compatible woth pc and android.
also the switch supports all them without it with missioncontrol and all the good controllers for pc support bluetooth ps3/ps4//ps5/xbone and the good 360 controllers are all wired

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
