Wondering how to keep the fun going by charging your Nintendo Switch controller? You’re in the right spot!
Let’s dive straight into how you can charge your Nintendo Switch controller and never miss a beat in your favorite games.
Quick and Easy Ways to Charge Your Controller
The simplest way to charge your Nintendo Switch controller is by attaching it to the docked Switch console. When the console is docked and charging, your controllers will charge too. Easy, right?
If you’re using the Pro Controller, you can plug the included USB-C cable into the controller and then connect it to the Switch dock. This method works whether the console is docked or in use, so you can keep playing while you charge!
