1. Pair a real controller with your Switch like normal. Yes, a real physical JoyCon or Pro Controller that you have.
2. Find the Bluetooth MAC address of that controller. You can connect the controller to your phone and find the Device's Bluetooth address in the Device details of Bluetooth settings. You can also use on PC to view your controller's MAC address.
3. On your Android, you will need to navigate to /efs/bluetooth/bt_addr
/data/vendor/mac_addr/bt.mac
,
/data/misc/bluetooth/bdaddr
or /data/vendor/bluetooth/bdaddr
and MAKE A BACKUP of this file! Root privileges will need to be granted when navigating to and modifying this file. [The location of the file for editing Bluetooth MAC Address will vary depending on your device.]
4. Change your device's MAC address at /efs/bluetooth/bt_addr
, /data/vendor/mac_addr/bt.mac
, /data/vendor/bluetooth/ bdaddr
or /data/misc/bluetooth/bdadd
with the real controller's MAC address.
5. A reboot might be needed after making the changes. You can try to connect JoyCon Droid to the Switch now.
Overwrite the file again with the backup you made to restore your original MAC address if you need to.
/data/vendor/mac_addr/bt.mac
(which is usually the case on MIUI devices) you'll need a Hex Editor App (can be installed through Play Store) to edit that file. To change to the desired Bluetooth MAC Address (e.g. a1:b2:c3:d4:e5:f6) you have to put a1b2c3d4e5f6 (without colons) using a Hex Editor.
