So, how exactly do you connect a wireless controller to a Nintendo Switch? Let’s dive right in and find out!

Quick Steps to Connect Your Wireless Controller

Connecting a wireless controller to your Nintendo Switch is simpler than you might think. First, ensure your Switch is on and docked or in tabletop mode, so you can see the screen clearly. Then, head to the Home menu and select ‘Controllers’ followed by ‘Change Grip/Order’. This signals your Switch to start looking for controllers.

Next, grab your wireless controller. Look for the sync button, which is usually found at the top or back of the controller. Press and hold this button until the controller’s lights start flashing. This means it’s in pairing mode. Back on your Switch screen, you should see the controller appear. Just select it, and voila! You’re connected and ready to play.
