To wirelessly connect your Switch Pro Controller to your Nintendo Switch, go into the Controllers menu at the bottom of your Nintendo Switch’s screen (the icon has an image of a Joy-Con controller). Next, select “Change Grip/Order”.

At this point, you need to press and hold (long-press) the “Sync” button to connect your Switch Pro Controller to your Nintendo Switch. The “Sync” button is located at the top of your controller; next to the USB-C port.

After you let go of the “Sync” button, you’ll see your Switch Pro Controller’s icon appear on-screen. Press the A button to confirm the connection and you’re done. This method also works with the Nintendo Switch Lite.

If you want to connect a wireless controller to your Nintendo Switch without the “Sync” button, all you need to do is connect your Switch Pro Controller and your Nintendo Switch with the USB-C cable that came with your Switch Pro Controller.

First, plug the USB-C end of the cable into the USB-C slot on top of your Switch Pro Controller. Then, plug the USB-A (also known simply as USB) end of your cable into one of the USB-A ports on your Nintendo Switch’s dock.

Once you do this, your Switch Pro Controller automatically connects with your Nintendo Switch. The USB-A ports (there are two of them) are on the bottom-left side of your Nintendo Switch’s dock. The Nintendo Switch (the tablet part) must be in the dock for this charging cable connection method to work.
