How do I know if my controller is Bluetooth?

To determine if your controller is Bluetooth-enabled, follow these steps:

1. Check the Documentation or Product Listing

The quickest way is to check the user manual or the product description of the controller. Most controllers will explicitly state if they are Bluetooth-compatible. You can often find this information on the packaging, in the user manual, or in the online product listing (such as on the manufacturer’s website or in a store like Youwei Trade).

2. Look for a Bluetooth Symbol

Many controllers will have a Bluetooth icon or a symbol that indicates Bluetooth functionality. This symbol is often found near the power button or on the controller's body. It may look like a small, stylized “B” or the word “Bluetooth.”

3. Try Pairing with Your Device

If you are unsure whether your controller supports Bluetooth, you can try pairing it with a Bluetooth-enabled device. Here's how you can check:

• For Android/iOS:
  1. Turn on Bluetooth on your phone or tablet and ensure it is in pairing mode.
  2. Press the pairing button on the controller (this is often a small button or a combination of buttons, depending on the brand).
  3. Look for the controller in the Bluetooth device list on your phone.
• For PC:
  1. Open the Bluetooth settings on your PC.
  2. Put the controller into pairing mode.
  3. If the controller appears in the Bluetooth device list, it is Bluetooth-enabled.

If it connects successfully, your controller is Bluetooth-compatible.

4. Search for Model Information

If you're still not sure, you can search for the model number of the controller online. Manufacturers often list detailed product specs, including whether Bluetooth is supported, on their websites.

5. Test the Connection

If your controller supports Bluetooth, it will not require any cables to connect to your device. Simply connect it wirelessly once paired.
