Seeking a way to link your Nintendo Switch controller with your iPad? You’re in the right place!
Quick Guide: Pairing Made Easy
Good news, gamers! Pairing your Nintendo Switch controller with an iPad is simpler than beating the first level of Super Mario. First, let’s make sure your controller is ready to connect.
Turn on your iPad’s Bluetooth by heading to Settings > Bluetooth and ensure it’s switched on. Then, grab your Nintendo Switch controller. If it’s a Joy-Con, detach it from the console. For a Pro Controller, just have it nearby. Hold down the Sync button (it’s small and round) on your controller until the lights start dancing. This means it’s in pairing mode. Head back to your iPad, and under Bluetooth settings, the controller should pop up as an available device. Tap to connect, and boom, you’re paired!
