Quick Guide to Connecting Your Pro Controller

First off, you need to decide between a wired or wireless connection. Both methods are simple and effective. If you prefer not to deal with cables, going wireless is your best bet.

To connect wirelessly, hold down the Sync button on your Pro Controller until the lights start flashing. Then, on your PC, navigate to Bluetooth settings and select ‘Add Bluetooth or other device’. Your Pro Controller should appear on the list. Click it, and voila, you’re connected!

For a wired connection, you just need a USB-C cable. Plug one end into your Pro Controller and the other into a USB port on your PC. Your PC should recognize the controller immediately.
