If anyone knows how to find the mac address or knows a different way to make the automatic connection work, please let me know!
I'm guessing you are on Windows 10 or 11. Try this while your device is connected:
-Open bluetooth & other devices settings. (type it in the search box)
-On right side or the window that opens, click More Bluetooth Options.
-A window, Bluetooth Settings, pops up. click the hardware tab.
-Select the 8bitdo Micro Gamepad from the list of devices. click properties (lower right corner of window)
-Another window opens, 8BitDo Micro Gamepad Properties. Click the events tab.
-In the information box you will see something like Device BTHENUM\Dev_E418D8527DBC. The MAC address is the alphanumeric sequence after \Dev_. In the example it is E417D8527EBC. In some situations it is displayed E4:18:D8:52:7D:BC. Yours will be different than the example.

Could you post the link to the Reddit thread with the Nickel menu code to auto connect the Micro?
