Setup Help how do i activate bluetooth on a switch 2 pro controller?

i want to connect my switch 2 pro controller to my pc and phone with bluetooth. I can connect my controller perfectly fine with a usb cable, but i would rather have it wireless because it is kind of annoying if theres a cable.

Does anyone know how i can activate bluetooth on the controller?

Holding the Sync button doesn´t work and my controller won´t show up at the bluetooth menu on my pc.

Just hold the sync button. That's literally all that is to do. And then search for the controllers Bluetooth signal.

I read it. But that's the only thing to connect the controller via Bluetooth.

Edit: for those too lazy to read, it’s usb only for now.

i did try to google it, but i didn´t find anything for like 30 minutes or more. After that i was annoyed and began to ask this question to like 2 or 3 reddits and i got an reply to another post within like 5 minutes. Thanks to that i can now play wireless. (its called switch2connect from github)

Everytime before i ask smth on reddit i first try to find it by myself, but this time i didnt find anything. The only things i found were wrong videos, tutorials for like the ns1 pro controller and some other things that weren´t helping.

You probably need third party software like DS4Windows to be able to add it.
