Ever wondered how you can connect your Nintendo Switch controller to your TV? Well, you’re in the right place to find out!
Let’s dive right into how to make your gaming setup even more awesome by connecting your Nintendo Switch controller to your TV.
Quick Steps to Connect Your Controller
Connecting your Nintendo Switch controller to your TV is actually about connecting it to the Switch console itself. Once your console is docked and connected to your TV, the controller will control the game on your TV screen.
First, ensure your Switch is docked properly in the Nintendo Switch dock, which should be connected to your TV. Then, simply attach the Joy-Con controllers to the sides of the docked Switch, or sync your Pro Controller by pressing the sync button. Voila! You’re ready to play your favorite games on the big screen.
