Last updated
Ever wondered how to make your gaming sessions more fun by adding another controller to your Nintendo Switch? Let’s dive in and figure it out together!
If you’re asking yourself, “How do I connect a controller to my Nintendo Switch?” you’re in the right place for answers.
The Quick Guide to Pairing Your Controller
First things first, grab your Nintendo Switch controller. This could be a Joy-Con or a Pro Controller. Now, go to your Switch’s Home screen. Can you see the little round button on your controller? That’s your ticket to multiplayer fun. Press it and watch the magic happen.
On your Switch, navigate to the Controllers screen, then select ‘Change Grip/Order.’ This tells your Switch, “Hey, I’ve got a new friend for you!” When your controller starts doing its flashy light show, it means it’s searching for your Switch. Make sure they’re close friends (not too far away from each other) and voila! Connected!
