Last updated
Wondering how to get your Nintendo Switch Pro Controller connected? You’re in the right spot!
Let’s dive into the easy steps you can follow to sync your Nintendo Switch Pro Controller to your console. It’s a breeze, we promise!
Quick Steps to Sync Your Pro Controller
First things first, let’s connect that controller! Grab your Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and your console.
Here’s what you need to do: With your Switch docked or in handheld mode, plug one end of the USB charging cable into the Pro Controller and the other end into the dock or the Switch itself. This establishes a connection between the two. Once plugged in, press and hold the SYNC button on the top of your controller until the lights start flashing. This means it’s searching for your console. Now, just wait for the lights to become steady, signaling that your controller is synced and ready to go!
Wireless Wonders
Prefer to go wireless? No problem! The Pro Controller supports Bluetooth connectivity.
With your Switch console on, navigate to the ‘Controllers’ screen on the Home menu, then select ‘Change Grip/Order’. Now, press and hold the SYNC button on your Pro Controller until the lights start flashing. Your Switch will search for the controller. Once it’s found, the lights on your controller will stop flashing, indicating a successful wireless connection. Easy, right?
