# JoyCon Droid

## Guides & Links: <a href="#guides-and-links" id="guides-and-links"></a>

### Please start with reading the Compatibility and FAQ! <a href="#please-read-the-compatibility-and-faq-if-youre-new" id="please-read-the-compatibility-and-faq-if-youre-new"></a>

**Root is required on all Android devices** to use JoyCon Droid as of **Switch system version** 12.0.0 and higher, this includes Samsung. The Bluetooth Class of Device on your Android device must be changed using root for the Switch to allow it to connect as a controller.

Samsung devices or custom ROMs are also required for using amiibo.

There is a lot of information here but reading everything is necessary, not guaranteed to work, and is recommended for advanced users only.
