Last updated
Ever wondered how to make the most out of your Nintendo Switch controllers by using them separately? Well, you’re not alone! Many gamers look for ways to enjoy their favorite games with friends and family, and using the Switch controllers separately is a fantastic way to do just that.
So, let’s dive into how you can split those controllers and jump into multiplayer fun or even enhance your single-player experience.
Easy Steps to Use Your Switch Controllers Separately
Using your Nintendo Switch controllers separately is a breeze! First thing’s first, detach the Joy-Con controllers from the Switch console. You can do this by pressing the small button located on the back of each controller and gently sliding them up.
Once detached, you’ll want to activate each Joy-Con as its own separate controller. To do this, turn on your Switch and navigate to the Controllers screen on the home menu. Here, you’ll choose ‘Change Grip/Order.’ Now, press and hold the small round button located between the SL and SR buttons on each Joy-Con until the lights start flashing. This means they are in pairing mode and will be recognized as individual controllers. Voila! You’re all set to play.
