If your controller is not paring through the Change Grip/ Order screen, please try the following:
Note: Please remove your Nintendo Switch console from the Dock and connect your Joycons to your console.
- At the Nintendo Switch home screen, select the System Settings button.
- Now, go down to the Controller and Sensors option and select it.
- Next, scroll down to the bottom until you see the Disconnect Controllers options and select it.
- Now press and hold the X button on your Joycon. This will disconnect all controllers that are connected to your console. Once this is done, your Joycons will automatically pair to your Switch.
- Go back to the Nintendo Switch home screen.
Now let’s pair your wireless controller.
- Select the controller settings option.
- Now select Change Grip/Order.
- Next press and hold the Sync Button which is located on the top of the controller.
- You should see the green LEDs start to flash. If they turn off, continue to hold the sync button and press the A button.
- The controller should then appear on the screen, if it does, this means your controller is paired to your console.
After you do this, if you notice it is still not showing up, please follow the calibration steps below in order to isolate the issue:
1. Make sure your controller is unplugged from the charging cable.
2. Press and hold the down button from the D-Pad
3. Connect the charging cable to the controller
4. Let go of the down button from the D-Pad
5. Press A button once
6. Rotate both analog sticks 4 times (Clockwise)
7. Press the down button from the D-Pad
The previous calibration steps will also fix any issues with drifting, or if your controller is moving on it's own.
How do I troubleshoot when there's No Power or No Connection?
- Make sure the controller is turned off and unplugged.
- Remove the back paddle from the controller.
- In the top corner of the right back paddle (Left if looking from the bottom) there is a little black button recessed.
- Press and hold this button for 30 seconds.
- Re-install the back paddle.
- Plug the controller in to charge fully.
How can I connect my controller to my PC or Laptop?

I try to calibrate the control but it doesn't work, what I can do?I was able to troubleshoot my controller, after the only thing it did was glow when charging. I was so worried that my controller wouldn't work. I am so glad that I was to find the article, because I was starting to freak out. It helps alot, my controller works now.
My controller will no longer charge. I plug the controller into my Switch deck and it lights up red once and then nothing. It will not turn on if I unplug the remote but when it is plugged in I can use it to play games. I believe the battery is just dead which is annoying because I just bought it three months ago. Has anybody else had this issue?
My controller keeps reprogramming the buttons differently on it's own. I sometimes just let it sit there and then it works fine but then it doesn't.
the top rated solution for programming the back pads is connect it to an Xbox One and use the app...which begs the question, why would you sell a controller licensed by Nintendo and clearly labeled Nintendo Switch and then create a support app for that controller on a completely different console than the one you clearly marketed it for ? That makes no sense at all .
Might have something to do with Nintendo security
J'ai acheté un de veau manette et elle étais totalement déprogrammer je n'ai pu joué avec beaucoup de temps et pour cela je demande remboursement ou renvoi d un manette neuves cordialement
my controller has now drift just after a month I did buy it, I tried to do the calibration that claims to fixed it several times but it still has drift, reset just make the green leds blink as always, not sure if the calibration even works
So for the people wondering there is a solution on this website to help with if like myself your controller only lights up when plugged in and that's it. Whether it works or not I don't know but its worth a shot for anyone with this issue.
Edit: it does work.
And for Robermio Rg the solution I found for that is you can pull the analog sticks up a bit and if there is dirt or stuff in there just blow on it for a second and it should fix.
The left stick keeps sticking and drifting and will not calibrate.
How do I know if controller is charging (wireless afterglow Nintendo Switch controller)?
Is it possible it will only charge if it connected to the switch console DOCK?
I have it plugged into the wall & soon as I unplug the controller is off /dead?
It’s brand new my son is so upset please HELP???
How do I turn off the back buttons? It's a little annoying when playing Zelda and using the paraglider - if I accidentally tap the back button, he closes the glider and starts falling :(
