Ever wondered how to get your Nintendo Switch controller connected and ready for action? You’re in the perfect spot to find out!

So, how exactly do you connect a Nintendo Switch controller? Let’s dive into the simple steps to make your gaming session a blast without any hiccups.

Quick Steps to Connect Your Nintendo Switch Controller

To hook up your Nintendo Switch controller, first, ensure your Switch console is powered on and ready. If it’s your first time or you’re adding a new controller, navigating to the Controllers menu on your Switch screen is your starting point.

For wireless Joy-Cons, just slide them onto the sides of your Switch console until they click. If you’re using a Pro Controller, or need to reconnect Joy-Cons wirelessly, you’ll press and hold the small pairing button on the controller until the lights start dancing. Then, simply select ‘Change Grip/Order’ on your Switch, and you’re all set!
