Quick and Easy Connection Guide
To connect your Nintendo Pro Controller to a PC, you have two main options: via a USB cable or Bluetooth. First, make sure your PC is Bluetooth-capable if you’re going wireless.
For a wired connection, just plug the USB charging cable that came with your Pro Controller into both the controller and your PC. Your PC should recognize the controller immediately. If you prefer to go wireless, press and hold the sync button on your Pro Controller until the lights start flashing, then find the controller in your PC’s Bluetooth settings and pair it. Easy peasy!
