Nintendo Joy-Con Blue, Red Bluetooth Gamepad Analogue / Digital Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Joy-Con Blue Red are versatile controllers for the Nintendo Switch that can be used attached to the console in handheld mode, connected to a Joy-Con grip to act as a single controller, or used independently—one in each hand—for two-player action. Each Joy-Con includes a full set of buttons, an accelerometer and gyroscope for motion control, an IR Motion Camera (on the right Joy-Con) for detecting shape, movement and distance of nearby objects, and an NFC touchpoint for amiibo support. The controllers connect wirelessly via Bluetooth and the product is compact and lightweight, with a built-in rechargeable battery that supports extended play sessions.

Advantages

The Joy-Con pair provides multiple control options—handheld, separated for two players, or combined with a grip—to suit different game types. Motion sensors and an IR Motion Camera enable precise motion tracking and new gameplay possibilities. HD Rumble delivers realistic tactile feedback that can simulate subtle sensations such as the movement of objects. Built-in NFC on the right Joy-Con allows quick amiibo interaction. Up to eight controllers can be connected to a single console for multiplayer games.

Suitable for

• Casual and party games on Nintendo Switch
• Motion-controlled titles and experiences requiring tilting or gestures
• Local two-player matches using separated Joy-Con
• Games that use amiibo interaction via NFC

How to use

Attach the Joy-Con controllers to the sides of the Nintendo Switch for handheld play, slide them into the Joy-Con grip to form a single controller, or remove and hand one to another player for two-player games. Use motion controls by tilting or moving the Joy-Con; the accelerometer and gyroscope will register gestures. Place the right Joy-Con’s IR Motion Camera toward objects you want the system to detect, and tap amiibo figures on the NFC touchpoint of the right Joy-Con to read or write amiibo data. Pair the controllers with the console via Bluetooth following the Switch on-screen pairing instructions.

Recommendations

Charge the Joy-Con before extended play sessions and keep firmware up to date via the Nintendo Switch system settings. Handle the IR Motion Camera and NFC area with care to avoid scratching. For best wireless performance keep the console and controllers within normal operating range and avoid strong sources of wireless interference. When sharing Joy-Con with another player, ensure both are properly paired and calibrated in the console’s controller settings.
