How to Turn Off Motion Controls on Your Nintendo Switch Controller
Last updated
Ever wondered how to stop your Nintendo Switch controller from moving your character when you don’t want it to? You’re not alone!
Let’s dive into how you can turn off the motion controls on your Nintendo Switch controller, making your gameplay smoother and more to your liking.
Quick Steps to Disable Motion Controls
Turning off motion controls on your Nintendo Switch controller is simpler than you might think. Start by going to the main menu of your Switch. Then, navigate to ‘System Settings’, scroll down to ‘Controllers and Sensors’, and finally, select ‘Disable Motion Controls’. That’s it!
This action will stop your controller from reacting to movements, giving you control purely through the buttons and joysticks. Whether you’re in the heat of battle in ‘Zelda’ or trying to score that perfect goal in ‘Mario Kart’, disabling this feature can help you play with more precision.
Why Disable Motion Controls?
While Nintendo’s motion controls offer an interactive way to play, not everyone finds them helpful. Some players prefer the traditional button and joystick method, especially in games that require precise control. Disabling motion controls can help you focus on strategy and skill, without unexpected movements throwing you off.
Moreover, it’s beneficial for those long gaming sessions. Sometimes, the physicality of motion controls can be tiring. By switching to a more traditional control scheme, you can keep playing your favorites like ‘Super Mario Odyssey’ comfortably for longer.
