How to Connect a PS4 or PS5 Controller to Your Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switch is a versatile gaming console that offers a wide range of gameplay options for players. However, to enjoy some of the games on the platform, you may need to connect a gamepad or controller. If you’re a PlayStation player, you’ll be thrilled to know that you can use both PS4 and PS5 controllers with your Nintendo Switch.

Here’s how you can connect your PS4 or PS5 controller to your Nintendo Switch:

1.Make sure your PS4 or PS5 controller is charged and turned on. You can connect your controller to your console via a micro USB cable to charge it.

2.On your Nintendo Switch, navigate to the “System Settings” option on the home screen.

3.In the “System Settings” menu, select “Controllers and Sensors.”

4.Select “Change Grip/Order” to add or replace the controller being used.

5.Press and hold the PS button and Share button (on a PS4 controller) or the PS button and Create button (on a PS5 controller) simultaneously.

6.Keep holding the buttons until the light bar on the controller starts flashing rapidly.

7.On the “Change Grip/Order” screen on your Nintendo Switch, press the L and R buttons simultaneously on the controller you want to pair.

8.If the connection is successful, the controller light bar will become stable, and the controller button icons will appear on your Nintendo Switch screen.

That’s it! You can now use your PS4 or PS5 controller to play your favorite games on your Nintendo Switch.

It’s worth noting that some features of the PS4 or PS5 controller may not be compatible with the Nintendo Switch. For example, if you’re using a PS5 controller, the touchpad may not function properly. However, the main buttons, such as the directional pad, left and right sticks, and triggers, should work correctly.

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
