@dreamy elm When you said Nintendo brand, are you saying it's made by Nintendo or it's officially licensed by Nintndo and made by another brand like, for example, PowerA?

dreamy elm Oct 28, 2023, 10:18 PM

#

made by nintendo

#

i legit bought it on the nintendo website

HOW TO DELETE & RECONNECT CONTROLLER PAIRING

§ This is a method to reset controllers pairing information and can fix various controllers' connection issues. If you do not have a functional right Joy-con, you can use a different controller such as a Pro controller.

※ With the Switch console in handheld mode.
1. Detach/Disconnect all the Joy-Con and controllers from the Nintendo Switch console.
2. From the HOME Menu, select System Settings ⚙️ > Controllers and Sensors > Disconnect Controllers.
3. Hold down the “X” Button on the right Joy-Con until the blue circle is fully illuminated.
4. Attach or connect any Joy-con and controllers you want to pair to the console.

※ Update the controllers' firmware can fix several issues.

You know how to pair the Pro con wirelessly?

dreamy elm Oct 28, 2023, 11:45 PM

#

um

#

kinda?

#

i mean

#

you jsut click rt and lt right

#

but it doesnt work

#

on my pro contrler

#

like im spamming rt and lt

#

@brazen root

brazen root Oct 28, 2023, 11:47 PM

#

Open the "joycon" menu from home screen.
Go to "Change grip/order"
While that menu is on the screen, press and hold the tiny pairing button on top your Pro con until the light at the bottom of the controller starts flashing.
Now you can press L+R button (NOT ZL/ZR) several times till the controller appears on the Switch's menu.

dreamy elm Oct 28, 2023, 11:57 PM

i did

#

i just said i pressed rt and lt

#

it doesnt show up

#

thats the original problem

brazen root Oct 28, 2023, 11:58 PM

#

dreamy elm i just said i pressed rt and lt

What i asked is did you do exactly like those steps? Since you simply said " i pressed rt and lt" without any other setup I mentioned.

#

Also they are literally called L/R button for Left/Right and the "trigger" buttons are called ZL/ZR.

Those letterings are marked on the controller.

#

Try the xpair tag again but after that, restart your Switch before pairing the controller back

#

But if that didn't work then you will need to try using the USB cable

#

...and your controller's wireless feature maybe malfunctioning
