Last updated
Ever found yourself puzzled over how to detach your Nintendo controller? No worries, we’ve got you covered!
Let’s dive into the simple steps on how to disconnect a Nintendo controller. It’s easier than you think!
Quick and Easy Disconnection
First things first, let’s get your Nintendo controller disconnected. If you’re using a Nintendo Switch, just press and hold the small round button on the top of the controller for a few seconds. This releases the controller from the console’s grip.
If you’re playing with a wireless controller, like the Pro Controller, go to the Switch’s Home menu, select ‘Controllers,’ and then choose ‘Change Grip/Order.’ From there, you can simply turn off the controller by pressing its power button. Easy, right?
Why Disconnect Your Nintendo Controller?
You might be wondering, ‘Why would I ever need to disconnect my controller?’ Well, it’s quite handy for recharging, switching to a different controller, or packing up your console. Plus, it ensures your controllers don’t accidentally wake up your console from sleep mode!
Disconnecting properly can also help extend the life of your controllers by avoiding unnecessary battery drain. So, it’s a good habit to get into.
