How to Connect Any Controller to Switch, PC, and Mobile

Using one controller across multiple devices is easier than you think. Whether you game on Nintendo Switch, a PC, or mobile devices, here’s how to pair your controller:

For Switch: Use the controller pairing menu (System Settings > Controllers > Change Grip/Order). Most Bluetooth controllers (including third-party) work wirelessly.

For PC: Use USB-C or Bluetooth. Windows 10/11 supports Xbox and PlayStation controllers natively. Steam users can map any layout.

For iOS/Android: Go to Bluetooth settings, press the pairing button on your controller. Newer iOS and Android versions support Xbox, DualShock, and many third-party controllers.
