THANK YOU! I am not a gamer, but I am a minimal gaming mommy. I wanted to try, not the cheapest, but also not the most expensive, so i went somewhere in between. I got one of the remotes to work fairly easily, but the other one WAS NOT syncing. Your 3rd method worked for me and if this video didn't work, I was returning my entire order and ordering the more expensive ones. YOU SAVED ME $$$!
you are really underrated because you give us your knowledge on games and stuff like controllers or consoles. You saved me a lot of time and spent zero time yapping, thank you Gamer to gamer!
DUDE! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Hitting HOME button and just pressing all the face buttons til one of them worked did the trick for me! Thank you so much!!!
I just would like to thank you for this video! Got my son an OLED for his birthday today... I was trying to set up his 3rd party controller and was unsuccessful. He was pretty bummed. Until I found your video and it worked! I appreciate the time you took to help out!
Thank you! You are the only useful video on TH-cam regarding re-connecting 3rd controllers. Forget about the buttons, just use the cable to connect, then you're good to go!
@@DavidLee-nv9nv maybe the controller is being charged using the switch's battery, you don't need to keep the cable in though, once connection is established just use the controller wirelessly
Thank you it worked after and hour of trying and watching other videos and reading the manual this video was easy and got to the point and it wasn't a rushed fast past video so thank you sir.
Thank you for this!! 🙏🙏 my son's new controller unpaired tonight and we lost the instructions and just could not remember how we paired it. Friday night Fortnite has been saved 😂😂
At the very beginning of the video, what's the black and red controller on the right with the PlayStation layout? Does it have turbo? I've been looking for a PS style Switch controller that has turbo for a while with no luck
Life Saving And Time Saving Thanks For Help Gamer 2 Gamer Appreciate it Dude Thanks I Thought My 3rd Party Controller Does Not Work But Turn Outs It Works Bluetooth Doesn't Work Tho. But The Usb Type C Wire Work Smoothly. The Bluetooth Pair Wise Not Working For My 3rd Party Controller I was wondering if i plug my type c to pair then unplugged it i also thought it wouldn't work cus of disconnected i stand corrected once the wire paired the switch will remember the controller it has been connected. Peace Brother Appreciate It Alot Great Help And Content To @Gamer 2 Gamer
I have a 3rd party one like the one in the bottom right of the video, and I had it paired to my old switch now I got the oled and I can’t get it to connect, is there anything needed to unpair first? Even connecting wired to the new switch doesn’t recognize it. I held the button in the middle and it goes to the fast blinks but still won’t see it.
So I’ve looked through your video a few times now but I’m not seeing you connect the controller I need. And when I have tried the home button plus the others it flashes at me. The one I need is that Elisween one in the top left with the red and blue and it doesn’t have the normal button but all it does when I try to connect it is flash at me and vibrate. How would I connect it (not sure if this influences anything but my brother connected it to his computer at some point.)
Fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Can this procedure work with the same controllers and a laptop? So far I haven’t had any issues connecting third-party controllers to my Switch, I just got a new gaming laptop ( Alienware ) and want to try using my controllers wireless. I’m almost 70 so it’s all magic to me.
I have 3 identical 3rd party controllers and want to connect all 3 - the first two connected as soon as they were plugged in, but the third is not recognised at all - any suggestions?
i found the combination but my third party controller still won’t connect do you have any advice with the combination still, i lost my cable so i can’t with the dock
I got a voyee controller for £15 and it feels the same as an official xbox one controller but it's lighter and it has a gyroscope. Better than an offical xbox one controller and a fraction of the price.
But the Switch LITE method for Charging the controllers Battery means that the Switch Lite's ONLY battery can't be charged at the SAME time the only way round that is to get a 2nd charging NON USB cable so that both the controller and the Switch itself will stay at 100% battery life as long as BOTH are plugged in at the same time.
Do you have to have a double-ended USB-C wire? I have a Switch Lite, a USB-C Hub, and a Wii U Pro Controller (and it's correponding micro-USB wire). Would connecting that work?
I have a voyee switch controller for pokemon scarlet violet. I plugged usb into switch official dock, I plugged type c side into voyee switch controller and held turbo button for 5 seconds to pair. I'm still having issues. I'm still in the "first 20 minutes phase"but starting to freak out if anyone has any tips?
I have a ps4 imitation controller with Bluetooth and usb cable, i connect it to the switch, press home button and the sswitch won't recognize it. The controller switch on the blue light like if its searching something but won't connect, also if its connect by usb swich the orange light like its charging. I cant make it work 😢 I also have a nacon controller with USB cable and also won't recognize it.
My controller won't connect even with a wired connection. I feel like I've tried everything and just nothing works. For reference, my controller is a Wii U style pro controller made by Verbatim. It specifies home + Y to get it to connect, but after switch 12.0 I can't get it to do anything...
I have the exact same problem. Just bought a generic 3rd party wii u pro controller and just can't get it to connect to my switch. Tried a lot of button combinations and with the usb cable and nothing
Hey, I’ve seen all of these solutions and tried all of them, but they don’t really work. With my controller, right now, I can play with the connection wired, but if I disconnect the wire, it won’t connect wirelessly. Do you know anything I can do to play wireless?
I have a cybergadget mini led controller and the directions are in Japanese. I have it working for my Switch but was trying to connect it to another Switch and can't figure it out. The cable didn't work.
I kinda gave up on the controller i snatched off my brother. I figured out my pokémon controller isn’t licensed nintendo, and his has an insane rumble to it, so i copped it lol. I tried many times to connect it, but it never worked. luckily the first method worked! it wasn’t even the correct controller! thank you!
ummmm, this didn't work, I tried every combination (idk if it works on original switch) and it still didn't work, it worked for a totally different device which I have no clue where it is, but didn't work for mine, any recommendations?
my controller came today and it refuses to Pair (i did everything in the instructions and the ways in the Video ) nothing pops up and nothing happens with the combination and im at a point where i could cry
I have a 3rd Party wireless Pro Controller (the white one with the Smash Bros design), which works both wired and wireless with the Switch, but just wired with the OLED Switch. I can't figure out what's wrong. Any ideas, anybody?
Have you managed to solve it? I got one similar and I unpaired it to try and fix a different controller. They don't repair anymore. If you know how to fix it please tell me 🙂
Great video. But do I have to connect the controller to the Switch via a cable first then I can connect wirelessly via Bluetooth? And what top controllers would you recommend for the Switch?
@@gamertogamer3958 Do you find having a dedicated 1st-party controller with an Xbox better and less of doing more better than a 3rd-parry controller with a Switch? Or vice versa?

Amazon has Nintendo original pro controller for$ 69.99. $70. A controller for a 6 year old system is not worth that much. $35 tops. They are rip offs.

Thanks, I'll give this a go.

Mine did the same, but pluged it in to my switch and hit home button and it paired right away.. not sure if you got it to work already
