Nintendo Switch: How to connect the controllers when you want to play in pairs
It makes no difference in which of the different game modes you want to use the Switch - you quickly turn your Switch into a console for 2 players.
- First switch to the home screen by pressing the home button on your controller.
- Open the system menu.
- Select the "Controller" sub-item here and decide on "Change fingering / sequence".
- Now follow the instructions on the screen. To connect two Pro Controllers, simultaneously press the L and R buttons on the controller, first player 1 and then player 2. If you want to connect 2 Joy-Cons, hold the controller as shown on the screen and press the button Shoulder buttons one after the other.
- If successful, the controller is displayed and a green rectangle shows which controller is player 1 and which player 2.
- The selection of controllers is limited in some games - for example, in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe you cannot play with a Pro Controller and a Joy-Con. You and your teammates must use either 2 Pro Controllers or 2 Joy-Cons.
The connection cannot be established
- If you want to connect a second controller, but this is not recognized, you should first check whether the controller has enough battery power. Charge it if necessary.
- Check in the home menu under "System settings" whether you accidentally activated the airplane mode. Turn this off to be able to connect the controllers.
- You may also want to connect too many controllers to the console. No more than 8 controllers can be connected to the switch.
- If the problem persists, a switch reset may help.
