/ segments the switch has been out for over a year now and whether you've had one for the launch day or you just picked one up there might be some handy little tricks about the system that you don't know about so let's talk five handy tips for your Nintendo switch first up now you may realize that the joy con is just a Bluetooth controller and in fact there are products out there that allow you to do things like hook up a joy con to other devices using USB there's other items that allow you to use different Bluetooth stuff with a switch but when it comes just the stroke on itself you can actually just sync this to other Bluetooth devices on its own really simply all you got to do is make sure it's disconnected from your switch hit and hold the sync button and then just do whatever setup so necessary on the item you're using like a MacBook or a PC to hook it up you might have take a couple of extra few steps just to configure properly once you get it running it's just a really simple controller you can use so let's check it out well actually the best part is to player but I'm by myself right now next let's talk something not functional at all but it is like a cool little easter egg that also just have that I had no idea about until I started researching stuff for this video if you go to the lock screen we've all seen it right you turn your switch on hit a button multiple times makes a little click noise whatever however certain buttons make different sounds most time we're getting it a little basic click but other times I have no idea what else to say for this segment secrets by the way if you're curious about the Pikachu drug concert going on here we actually picked these up from Etsy for another video we did recently if you've missed out you definitely like check it out it was a Pokemon snap station switch setup which took a little bit of work and maybe had a few problems but looked really amazing if you missed it make sure to check it out next up is a super handy trick for those of you that are these sole users of your switch you know of anyone else using it something that's really annoying and I don't know why this is even a setting and not just something that the switch automatically does but you may notice that even when you're the only user on a switch and every time you start up a game it asks you to pick a user as though it's a really difficult choice to make there's just the one so if you actually go into the settings there's a way to turn this off by going to the user page and then selecting to skip user select this option will only show up if you're the sole user of the switch because if you have multiple users registered how are other people supposed to be able to actually pick their profiles now joy cons are awesome little portable controllers so one of the downsides of their small size and portability is that well you can lose them they could be deep in a bag fold between some couch cushions all kinds of stuff and thankfully Nintendo does have a way you can fix this inside the switch itself you can actually go to the pairing menu and there's a section called fine controllers when you go in this you'll see a list of all the different joy konzi you've had it synced to this switch once you do that you select the one you're missing and if you're close enough you should be able to hit a button and have it vibrate so that you can hear it and track it down and in fact we're gonna demonstrate this because the guys in the office actually hit a joke on somewhere up here that I now need to find so let's go ahead find controllers I want to find this guy okay I definitely hear it we're here yeah it's either is it like in the ground back here you gonna like pull the couch out No oh there it is hey so yeah that definitely works all you've to do is just hold down the button and it'll vibrate so super handy so if you know anyone who's like me and loses things constantly definitely sure to share this video so that they can know this method track down their joy cons cuz you do not want to lose one of these fifty bucks a pop next up for those of you who actually show the statistics of what you've been playing on your switch there actually is an activity log that's pretty missable depending on how you use it if you don't really ever check your profile page much if you don't mess with friends if you just spend a lot of time in single-player games you're gonna miss out on this and all you have to do is actually go to this little profile page in the upper left hand corner click on the profile you want to check on and instead of going to friends list ring like that just go over to your main profile right here and below you'll see the list of everything you've been playing it's organized in the order of most recently played and it'll list either a specific time or at least a good approximate measurement of how much time you spend whether that's just a few hours an indie game twenty or more hours in Supra Odyssey or over a hundred hours in Zelda secrets
