Last updated
Ever wondered if you can use your Nintendo controller on your PC? Well, you’re in luck because it’s totally possible to bring your favorite Nintendo controller into your PC gaming sessions. Let’s dive into how you can make this happen.
Connecting a Nintendo controller to a PC might sound tricky, but it’s actually quite straightforward once you know the steps. Whether it’s for a more comfortable gaming experience or you just prefer the feel of a Nintendo controller, we’ve got you covered.
Quick Steps to Connect Your Nintendo Controller to PC
The simplest way to connect your Nintendo controller to your PC is through Bluetooth. Most modern PCs and Nintendo controllers (like those for the Switch) come with Bluetooth functionality. Make sure your PC’s Bluetooth is on and then put your Nintendo controller into pairing mode. On the Switch Pro controller, you do this by holding the Sync button until the lights start flashing.
Once your controller is in pairing mode, open the Bluetooth settings on your PC and look for the controller in the list of available devices. Select it, and voilà, your Nintendo controller should now be connected to your PC. For controllers that don’t support Bluetooth, you might need to use a USB cable or a Bluetooth adapter designed for the controller.
