How to Pair a Nintendo Switch Controller

Wondering how to connect your Nintendo Switch controller? You’re in the right place!

Are you trying to figure out how to make your Nintendo switch controller and your console become best friends? Let’s get into it.

Quick Steps to Pair Your Controller

Pairing a Nintendo Switch controller is as easy as pie. First, make sure your Nintendo Switch is on. Then, if you’re using Joy-Con controllers, just slide them onto the sides of the console. Voila! They are paired.

For the Pro Controller, or if you want to connect your Joy-Cons while the Switch is docked, you’ll need to use the pairing button. Press and hold the small pairing button on the controller until the lights start flashing. Then, go to the Controllers menu on your Switch and select ‘Change Grip/Order’. Wait a moment, and like magic, your controller is connected!
