The Super Nova chooses its connection with the three-position back switch: Off, Bluetooth, and 2.4G; a USB-C cable works in any state. Bluetooth pairing further selects the platform by which face button you hold (Switch, Android, or DS4). Inputs run as XInput on PC, and M + A flips the on-screen button layout between Xbox and Switch styles.
