You could probably use some sort of adhesive or tape but I don’t think that would help them work together.

There’s a way. You need a CFW on your Switch. Mission Control supports many other controllers incl. Wiimote.

Wiimotes use what amounts to wifi. They’re slow as shit for that reason, so you should probably use an adapter.

Are they not Bluetooth? I swear I remember connecting my Wiimote to my PC via Bluetooth eons ago by just holding down the 1 and 2 buttons to enter pairing mode.

Also why would using WiFi make it slower? And why on Earth would using an adapter help with that?
