Wondering how to keep your Nintendo Switch gaming going by charging the controller? You’re in the right place!

How exactly do we charge the controller for the Nintendo Switch? Let’s dive in and get your gaming marathon back on track.

Quick and Easy Ways to Charge Your Controller

Charging your Nintendo Switch controller is super easy! The simplest way is to connect it directly to the Switch console while it’s docked. Neat, right?

If you have the Pro Controller, you can use the USB charging cable that came with it. Just plug it into the console or another USB power source, and you’re all set!

Play and Charge at the Same Time?

Yes! You can keep playing while charging your controller. If you’re using the Joy-Con controllers, just slide them onto your Switch while it’s docked. For Pro controller users, as long as you’re connected via the USB cable, you can play and charge without a break.

This means your gaming adventure never has to pause for a charge. Just plug in, and play on!
