Are you hving trouble connecting your Nintendo Switch controller? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! In this blog post, we’ll explain how to connect your controller to the Nintendo Switch console.

The first step is to locate the SYNC button on the controller. This is usually located on the top of the controller near the USB port. Press and hold this button until the LED indicator light starts flashing. Then, go to the HOME Menu on your Nintendo Switch and select “Controllers” and then “Change Grip/Order”.

Next, you need to press and hold the SYNC Button on the controller again until it connects with the console. Once it does, you will see a message that says “Paired” on the screen, indicting that pairing is complete.

If your controller still isn’t connecting, make sure that it has enough power by plugging in a Nintendo Switch AC adapter into it. If necessary, reset your Pro Controller by pressing its SYNC Button once and then pressing any other button such as A Button to power it back on again. Then pair it wirelessly with your console.

Finally, give your controllers time to charge (allow 6 hours or until an orange light at the top of the controller turns off). If they are stil not connecting after that period of time, you may need to replace their batteries or check if they are compatible with your console’s firmware version.
