Het Verbinden van de Nintendo Switch Pro Controller via Bluetooth

So, you've got the sleek, comfortable Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and you're ready to go wireless. Connecting this bad boy via Bluetooth is super straightforward. First things first, make sure your Nintendo Switch console is powered on and you're on the Home screen. Now, here's where you navigate: go to 'System Settings' from the HOME Menu. Scroll down that list until you find 'Controllers and Sensors'. Once you're there, you'll see an option for 'Pair Controller or Update Firmware'. Select that. Your Switch will then prompt you to 'Press and hold the SYNC Button for a few seconds'. For the Pro Controller, this SYNC button is located on the top edge of the controller, right next to the USB-C port. It's a small, round button. So, grab your Pro Controller, turn it so you can see the top edge, and press and hold that SYNC button for about three to five seconds. You should see the player indicator lights on the bottom of the controller start to flash, showing it's in pairing mode. Now, back on your Switch screen, you should see your Pro Controller pop up in the list of 'available controllers'. Simply select it with your Joy-Cons or another paired controller, and bam! It's connected. It's that easy, guys. You'll know it's successfully paired when the player indicator lights on the Pro Controller stop flashing and show a solid light corresponding to your player number. This process is pretty much identical whether it's your first time pairing or you're re-connecting a previously paired controller. Just remember: Home screen -> System Settings -> Controllers and Sensors -> Pair Controller or Update Firmware -> Press SYNC button on Pro Controller -> Select on Switch. Easy peasy!

Hoe Koppel Je Joy-Con Controllers via Bluetooth?

Alright, let's talk about the iconic Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons. These little guys are super versatile, but connecting them via Bluetooth might seem a tad different than the Pro Controller, especially if you're new to the Switch. Don't sweat it, though; it's still really simple. First, ensure your Switch console is on and you're on the HOME Menu, just like before. Now, head over to 'System Settings'. You'll find this as that little gear icon on your HOME Menu. Scroll down the settings menu until you see 'Controllers and Sensors'. Tap on that. Here's the key difference: you'll want to select 'Change Grip/Order'. This option is designed to help you re-sync or pair controllers. Once you select 'Change Grip/Order', your Switch will enter a pairing mode, waiting for controllers to connect. Now, pick up your Joy-Con(s). If they are still attached to the Switch, gently slide them off. For each Joy-Con you want to pair, look at the vertical rail on the side of the controller. You'll see a small, round SYNC button located near the top, just above where it clicks into the console. Press and hold this SYNC button for a few seconds until the little LED lights on the side of the Joy-Con start to flash. This flashing indicates it's ready to pair. Once the lights are flashing, hold the Joy-Con near your Switch. On the Switch screen, you should see the Joy-Con appear. Select it to confirm the connection. The player indicator lights on the Joy-Con will then stop flashing and show a solid color. You can do this for both the left and right Joy-Cons individually. If you're pairing them as a single controller (like you would if you were playing a two-player game with a friend each holding one), you'll want to pair both. If you're using them attached to the grip accessory, they're already connected via a wired connection, so this Bluetooth pairing is mainly for when you're using them detached or individually. Remember the sequence: HOME Menu -> System Settings -> Controllers and Sensors -> Change Grip/Order -> Press SYNC button on each Joy-Con -> Hold near Switch. Easy, right?

Kan Ik Andere Bluetooth Controllers Verbinden met de Switch?

This is a question we get a lot, guys: "Can I use my fancy other brand Bluetooth controllers with my Nintendo Switch?" And the answer is… well, it's a bit of a mixed bag, but mostly yes, with some important caveats. Officially, Nintendo only guarantees seamless Bluetooth connectivity for its own Pro Controllers and Joy-Cons. However, the Switch does support the Pro Controller Bluetooth protocol, which means many third-party controllers designed to mimic this protocol can work. The key here is
