Last updated
Ever wondered how long you need to charge those Nintendo Switch controllers before you can jump back into your gaming adventures? Well, let’s dive into that question and get you the answers you need.
How long does it take for Nintendo Switch controllers to get fully charged? We all hate waiting, but knowing the exact time can make the wait a bit easier!
Quick Charge Time Overview
The Nintendo Switch controllers, officially known as Joy-Con controllers, typically take about 3 to 4 hours to charge fully. That’s not too long, especially if you charge them overnight or while you’re taking a break.
To charge the Joy-Cons, you can simply attach them to the docked Nintendo Switch console or use a charging grip. Both methods will get your Joy-Cons charged up and ready for more gaming in no time.
