Ever wanted to know how to link up your Nintendo Switch wireless controller to the console? Well, you’re in the right spot!

Connecting a Nintendo Switch wireless controller might sound tricky, but it’s actually pretty simple. Let’s break it down, shall we?

Quick and Easy Steps to Connect

First things first, turn on your Nintendo Switch. You can’t connect anything if the console is asleep! Next, grab your wireless controller. Make sure it’s charged and ready for some action.

Now, press the small round button on the top of the controller. This is the syncing button. While you’re holding that down, look at your Nintendo Switch screen. You should see a prompt that lets you know the controller wants to connect. Click ‘OK’, and you’re all set! Easy, right?
