If you’re considering purchasing a Nintendo Switch, or just a new controller, it’s vital that you know everything that you need to. Despite the fact that the Nintendo Switch itself has a headphone jack, the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, as well as other accessories, doesn’t.
What to Know 1 Plug your headset into the audio jack along the top of the Switch or the USB-C port on its bottom (or the USB port on the dock). 2 Connect the headset to your mobile device and use the Nintendo Switch Online mobile app. 3 You can also use your mobile device’s built-in microphone to chat with the Nintendo Switch Online app.
Wireless headsets aren’t supported. Each Nintendo Switch console features an audio jack along its top and a USB-C port on its bottom. Both of these can be used to connect compatible earphones or headphones and support most microphone models.
Nintendo Switch is finally getting a third-party controller with a headphone jack. Although it’s officially licensed by Nintendo, the Faceoff Deluxe+ Audio Wired Controller is developed by PDP, which manufacturers a host of different Switch accessories, Switch travel cases, and controllers.
What is PDP controller?
PDP’s controller is essentially the same as the official Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, minus a few design tweaks here and there. In addition to the headphone jack, it comes with on-board audio controls, programmable buttons and interchangeable faceplates, currently in red and purple camo, and will go on sale for $25 when it launches.
Before Fortnite, the only way to use voice chat through the console was via a mobile phone using the Nintendo Switch Online app — a controversial decision that was last year defended by outgoing Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, who said it made sense since your phone is “always with you.”. You’ll still have to use this …
Using voice chat on the Nintendo Switch is about to get a whole lot easier, thanks to a new controller from PDP. Its Faceoff Deluxe+ wired controller – slated for launch this summer — features a 3.5mm headphone jack, so you can simply plug in your headset and play without messing around with Nintendo’s mobile chat app.
