The Super Nova picks its platform by which face button you hold while powering on: the Switch button for Nintendo Switch, the Android button for Android, and the DS4 button for iOS and Windows Bluetooth. The numbered channel indicators flash while searching and go solid once a host connects. Each mode remembers its last device, so a quick press of HOME reconnects.

FAQ

Which name does it show over Bluetooth?
Android shows [GameSir-Nova Pro]; iOS and Windows show it as [DUALSHOCK 4 Wireless Controller] because it pairs in DS4 mode.
It will not appear in my device list.
Make sure you held the correct platform button until the channel indicators blink fast. To force pairing, hold the Logo + Share buttons for 3 seconds until the indicator blinks twice per second, then search again.
