Mode is chosen at power-on by holding HOME with a face button: X for PC, Y for Nintendo Switch, A for Android and B for iOS. The HOME light shows the active mode by colour. Switch the mode before pairing a new platform; for 2.4G use the optional dongle, and for wired just connect USB-C.

FAQ

Which PC mode should I use?
HOME + X gives the standard XInput PC mode that most Windows games expect. iOS and some PCs may prefer the DS-style B/iOS mode.
Do I have to power off to change mode?
Yes — the mode is selected during power-on, so turn the controller off first, then hold HOME + the new platform button.
