How to Charge the Nintendo Switch Controller

Ever wondered how to power up your gaming session by charging your Nintendo Switch controller? You’re in the right place!

Let’s dive into the easiest way to keep your controller charged and ready for non-stop gaming action.

Quick Steps to Charge Your Controller

Charging your Nintendo Switch controller is simpler than you might think! You can charge it by connecting it directly to the docked Switch console using the USB Type-C cable provided. Or, if you have the Joy-Con controllers, just slide them onto the sides of the docked console.

For Pro Controllers, use the included cable to connect to the dock. It charges while you play or when the console is in sleep mode. So, you’ll always be ready for your next adventure.

Maximizing Your Playtime with Charged Controllers

Keeping your controller charged ensures you’re always ready for game time. The console itself charges the Joy-Cons while it’s docked and powered on, or you can get a charging grip for convenient charging. For longer play sessions, consider getting an external charging dock to keep multiple controllers charged.

Remember, a charged controller means uninterrupted gaming fun. So, make charging a routine part of your gaming setup.
