How to Use the Nintendo Switch Controllers: A Fun Guide

Ever wondered how to get started with your Nintendo Switch controllers? You’re in the right place!

Let’s dive into how you can use the Nintendo Switch controllers to jump into your favorite games.

Getting Started with Your Nintendo Switch Controllers

First up, the Nintendo Switch comes with two controllers called Joy-Con. You can slide them onto the sides of the console for handheld play or connect them to the Joy-Con grip for a more traditional controller feel. Easy, right?

If you’re playing with friends, you can also use each Joy-Con as a standalone controller. Just turn them sideways, and boom, it’s game time for two! The Switch makes it super simple to switch between solo and multiplayer fun.

How to Connect and Charge

Connecting your controllers is a breeze. They automatically pair when attached to the console. If you’re using them detached, just hitting the sync button does the trick. Remember to charge your Joy-Con by sliding them onto the console or a charging grip, so you don’t run out of juice in the middle of a game!

For a different gaming experience, the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is also available. It’s a more traditional controller that many find perfect for longer gaming sessions. Just like the Joy-Con, it connects easily and needs regular charging.
