Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers support Windows, Mac and Android; Pro models hide a secret

If you were one of the many gamers who unwrapped a Nintendo Switch this weekend, there are a few little tidbits that you might be interested in. Whether you've opted for a standard Joy-Con controller, or the Switch Pro Controller there are secrets waiting to be discovered.

In the US, UK and Japan, sales of Nintendo's latest console have been impressive, so there are lot of gamers out there ready to explore the likes of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. But before you devote hours to whatever games you bought, take a look at the controller in your hand because it has more to offer than you might first think.

While more usually found in the games themselves, there is an Easter egg waiting for you on your Switch Pro Controller. Pull back on the right hand stick and you'll find a message from Nintendo that reads: "THX2 ALLGAMEFANS!"

It's nothing to get too excited about, perhaps, but it's a nice touch from the company.

There will be plenty more gamers out there with the standard Joy-Con controller. These are Bluetooth controllers so it should probably not come as a surprise that they can be used with devices other than the Switch itself. Switch owners have taken to Twitter to report that they've got the controllers connected to Windows, Mac and Android devices.

Give it a whirl... and see if you can unearth any more secrets while you're at it!
