Right Joycon Not Connecting over Bluetooth for PC

(Well, no one moved the thread so I guess I'll just retype it.)

So I'm trying to use my joy-cons with my PC (Windows 10) via bluetooth. I have 4 joycons, 2 of which came with my switch when i bought it on day one, the other 2 I bought recently. The first two aren't detected at all when I do the steps to connect them. Those steps being to go into settings and click "Add bluetooth or other device" then "Bluetooth" to search for the devices and then hold the sync buttons on the joycons down til the lights start flashing. When I do this for the first two, they are not detected. When I try it with the two newer ones, only the left one gets detected but not the right.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Help.

Edit: Yes, I know the joy-cons are two different devices when connecting to bluetooth. What I'm saying is that only the left one appears in the detection window allowing me to connect it, "Joy-Con (L)", where as the right one does not appear in this window at all.

First of all... Joycons can't be used combined.. it registers 2 controllers afaik. 2nd this is not the place, here is to instruct, not to ask, I suggest an admin to move this.

    @Sicklyboy - the comparison would be forgiving all medical debt, not making healthcare illegal!
  • cearp @ cearp:
    Although I still don't agree, medical debt is rarely a choice, whereas enrolling in university is certainly a choice

    College costs, college loans, book prices, the entire thing is predatory, oft touted as essential to a successful life for my generation and the ones since, and completely unaffordable without putting you through an insane financial hardship for literal decades in many situations.

    It's important for society to be healthy and educated. If those things can't happen because all of the institutions that prop up those industries make it unattainable for all but a small portion of society, then your society is largely going to be disease ridden, dying, and uneducated in very short order.

    Issue is it's too rich of a coperation already with bad sugar diets causing diabetes and killing teeth a new set of teeth around 90k
  • cearp @ cearp:
    I agree it's not easy for the average American, let alone the ones below that average. Free / cheaper healthcare is much more important I think than free university education.
    Of course like @mthrnite said, why not both. But I doubt both will get solved at once, and surely healthcare is top priority.

    If it's needed to keep you healthy it shouldn't cost you $90k. The fact that it does is an enormous problem

    And if the concern is that "well we can't trust the government to intervene for this because the government can't do anything right and wastes tons of money" then holy shit push for a better government. I'm certainly trying to. Don't throw your hands up and go "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @K3Nv2 that's crazily expensive. how long will that take to pay off?

    Although diet is largely education, people don't need to go to university to learn what's healthy and what's not,
    it's the whole country, big corporations and advertising that is to blame for leading most of the population to believe that poptarts and froot loops are healthy to feed a child
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    i would think the population knows better but with food deserts and abject poverty, sometimes a poptart gonna have to do.

    As someone who went through the grade school system in the US some time within the past 30 or so years, not nearly enough is done to promote and educate on how to eat healthy in a way that is feasible to do on a regular basis and also affordable. Eating healthy is, comparatively, fucking expensive. So is eating unhealthy, but in many cases eating unhealthy is more affordable than eating healthy
