You can also use a USB-C cable for an instant connection. Plug it in, and the console will recognize the controller immediately. No need to fiddle with the Pair buttons!

I've done this a bunch of times; it's super straightforward. Turn on the controller, press the Pair button on the console, then the one on the controller. When the lights stop flashing, you're good to go!
