The Vader 4 Pro selects its platform with the rear mode switch (dongle / Bluetooth / NS / mobile), then connects when you press HOME. The first pairing on a given mode needs a 3-second HOME hold to enter pairing; afterwards a single HOME press auto-reconnects. A solid white LED means a PC, Android, or iOS link succeeded, while solid blue means a Switch link.
