Help, my 8bitdo NES30 Pro cannot be found by my bluetooth on my iOS devices or my PC, but works perfectly fine on my switch, I did the right button combinations for the systems but they just can’t find the controller, If anyone has a solution, please feel free to help me out, thanks.

If it works on your switch, you probably did the firmware update. If so, I believe it may have changed the button combinations. Did you use the combinations from the manual or the ones from the firmware update ?

@neufel I did the button combination from the 8bitdo app which is supposed to be Power + A for 2 seconds and then turn on bluetooth but it doesn’t work :/

Check the manufacturer website. There's 4 different modes. Start + Y, Start + X, etc etc and one is for PC, one is for iOS, one is for Switch, one is for something else, can't remember.

Looking at the manuals, old and new, it looks like start + A was for iOS in the prior version, but is now for Mac OS. If I understand correctly, I think iOS is no longer supported, as it was limited to iCade mode. I don't know much about the Apple stuff. If you're on Windows, it looks like start + X is what you would need. Perhaps the controller is auto pairing with the Switch. Are you holding the select button to put it in pairing mode whenever you switch platforms? I have an FC30 and it can be a little annoying to get it to be seen for whatever reason, as I have to force it into pairing mode, sometimes more than once.
