How to Sync a Nintendo Switch Controller

Ever wondered how to make your Nintendo Switch controller get along with your console? You’re not alone! Syncing a Nintendo Switch controller might seem like a challenge, but it’s really simple once you know the steps.

So, let’s dive into how we can get your gaming adventures up and running by syncing your controller to your Nintendo Switch.

Quick Steps to Sync Your Controller

First things first, let’s get your controller connected. If it’s your first time, don’t sweat it – here’s how to do it. Just grab your Nintendo Switch controller and follow these easy peasy steps:

1. Power on your Nintendo Switch. 2. If you’re using a Joy-Con, slide it onto the sides of the console until you hear a click. For a Pro Controller, use a USB cable to connect it to the dock, or press and hold the Sync button on the top of the controller until the lights start flashing. 3. Once the lights stop flashing and remain steady, voilà! You’re synced and ready to play.

If you’re trying to connect wirelessly, make sure your Switch is in docked mode or has its kickstand up, and then just follow the steps above without the USB cable.
