How to Pair Controller to Nintendo Switch

This video is a guide on how to pair a set of Joy-Cons or a Pro controller to Nintendo Switch. Here are the steps:

-From the home menu, open 'Controllers'
-Select 'Change Grip/Order'
-Then press the pairing button on the controller. It is on the top of the Pro controller, and on the inside of the Joy-Con controllers.

That's it! The controller should be paired at this point and ready for use. Thanks for watching!

Thank you!! My friend and I were thinking real hard. This helped a lot!

Thank you so much! Just bought the pro controller after the Joycons controller stopped working. Want to really be careful of the pro controller and didn't want to fidget around with it too much in case I broke it. Thanks again!

I came out of my way to find this video again after exiting. Just wanted to say thank you. You just made an 11 year old happy to sync his new controller. I understand playstation and Xbox. Nintendo is new to me.

Does it work with other switch controllers or just the pro controller?

[Jakspetter]

But what do i do with a regular controller, not pro? Mine dosent have a sync button

[helenathegreat]

Does anyone know if you have to have the console with you to pair your controllers to another switch, or can I bring ONLY my controllers to a freinds house?

[Andra]

Can I link a controller to a specific user/account when doing couch co-op? Because otherwise there is no saved progress for the other person.

[joellopez-imsk]

What about the switch controller that is blue on the left and red on the right

[journeysadventurist]

My controller doesn’t have the green lights or button, instead it’s a plug, do I need to plug it into the TV console in order to use it? Is it not wireless?

[Tommi-]

I have this pro controller that doesnt have the pair button or those lights what do i do?
