How to Connect a Nintendo Controller to Your iPad

Ever wondered how you can link up your Nintendo controller with your iPad? You’re in the right place, as we’re about to dive into the easiest way to make your gaming setup even cooler.

Connecting a Nintendo controller to an iPad might sound like something out of a tech wizard’s handbook, but it’s actually quite straightforward. Let’s figure out how.

Quick Steps to Connect Your Nintendo Controller to an iPad

To get your Nintendo controller working with your iPad, you’ll first need to ensure that your controller is Bluetooth-compatible. Most Nintendo Switch controllers, like the Joy-Cons and the Pro Controller, fit the bill perfectly.

First, go to your iPad’s Settings app, then tap on Bluetooth. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on. Now, grab your Nintendo controller and hold down the pairing button until the LED lights start flashing. This means it’s in pairing mode. Go back to your iPad, and under ‘Other Devices,’ you should see your Nintendo controller listed. Tap on it to pair, and voila! You’re connected.
