So, how exactly do you connect that Nintendo Switch controller? Whether it’s your first time or you just need a quick refresher, we’ve got your back.

The Quick and Easy Way to Connect Your Controller

Connecting a Nintendo Switch controller is as easy as pie. The first step is to turn on your Nintendo Switch console. Next, grab your controller. If it’s a Joy-Con, slide it onto the sides of the console until you hear a clicking sound. Voila! You’re connected.

For the Pro Controller, it’s a bit different. You’ll need a USB-C cable. Plug one end into the controller and the other into the dock of the Nintendo Switch. Once it’s plugged in, press the Home button on the Pro Controller, and you’re all set to play.
