Bluetooth on the Nova is selected by the same combo you used to pair: X + HOME puts it in Switch Pro mode (used by iOS, Switch, and Windows), while B + HOME puts it in Android mode. It remembers the last device per mode, so you normally only pair once and reconnect with HOME after that.

FAQ

How do I move it to a different device?
Power on, hold the combo for the target platform (X + HOME or B + HOME) for 3 seconds to re-enter pairing, then select it in the new device's Bluetooth.
It connects then drops on iPhone.
Remove [Pro Controller] from the iPhone's Bluetooth, update the controller in the GameSir app, then pair again with X + HOME.
