How to Turn On Your Nintendo Switch With a Controller
Last updated
Wondering how you can power up your Nintendo Switch using just the controller? You’re in the right spot!
Are you trying to figure out the magic trick to turning on your Nintendo Switch without getting up to press the power button on the console? Let’s dive into that!
Quick Steps to Power On Your Nintendo Switch
To turn on your Nintendo Switch using the controller, simply press and hold the Home button for about 1-2 seconds. Yep, it’s that easy!
When you press the Home button on your controller, whether you’re using the Joy-Con or the Pro Controller, your Nintendo Switch wakes up from its sleepy mode. If your Switch is completely off, a quick press on the power button on the console itself might still be necessary, but most of the time, we’re just waking it up from sleep mode, and the controller does the trick.
