First-hand tip: Make sure your controller has fresh batteries or it won't sync. Trust me, I've been there with dead batteries and a puzzled look!

Just plug in the controller using a USB cable, and it should automatically connect. Easiest way, especially if you're tech-challenged like me.

Honestly, using a wired connection to sync the controller is the fastest method. Once connected, you can always unplug and go wireless.
