after trying to get this to work for 15 minutes I realized that the switch on the back of the controller needs to be set on "S" for this to work. after doing that his instructions worked perfectly. just thought I'd leave this comment for anybody else getting stuck
I tried this a hundred times a couple months ago to no avail (following the instructions included with the controller and people online with similar issues). Thank you it final works lol
Was about to pull my hair out. The only thing preventing me from pairing was that I opened the Change Grip/Order screen BEFORE turning on the controller and holding the pair button on it. Thanks a million!!!
Just wanted to say, thank you so freaking much!!!! My son had the hardest time with this. So I stepped in to try and save the day. Reddit and the 8bit support website were no help. Googled the problem and your video popped up. BAM!! Worked like a charm. Thank you!!!
Bro i tried so many methods even put in the type C charger in it . Clicked on this video , and it follow the directions and the instantly started working . Thank you .
Yes thank you!! I haven't used my controller in forever and lost the manual. I had it in a case but thought I had broken it. Thanks my man now me and a buddy can get our couch coop on
ty for getting straight to the point, also i too was wondering about the waking up the switch part so that was a nice surprise to have it covered here as well
just bought a switch today and I thought i needed the 8bitdo brick adapter for this controller to work. turns out it was easier than I thought. Thanks!
Do you (or anyone) have issues where it “forgets” the Switch and won’t reconnect? Happens to me if the controller falls asleep and the console is still on. I’ve always struggled to get it to reconnect and your video helped. Was just wondering if mine is faulty or something.
Thank you! I could pair it easy enough, but was confused about it not waking up the machine (fair enough I suppose) and then getting the thing to work without pairing it EVERY SINGLE TIME! It was driving me mad. Now, after this, I know I need to wake to machine up by tapping my docked switch buttons, then hit the button on the back of the pad and it's on! No more pairing menu and using joycons EVERY SINGLE TIME . The instructions that come with this are rubbish ;)
Wasn't working for me but I realized I also had to move the little switch on the back of the controller that says "SADX" to the "s" for switch, now it's paired
I can't get this controller to pair with my SWOLED. I've already paired an official Pro controller to the system. Could this be an issue? I'm a first time switch owner, so it's all new to me. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you! UPDATE. I took the SWOLED out of dock mode and was able to sync the SN30 Pro+ to the Switch OLED while it was in table top mode. Easy. Thanks for the useful video!
Idk if its firmware change or not but you can actually press in from the start screen. You cannot wake up but if you press power on the switch then just start on the controller it will allow it to connect.
I wonder why this controller does pair and charge at the same time when i charge it using the dock?like i plug it there and it wont pair, it charges yes but doesnt pair

I have a question… My controller is blinking to green lights multiple times for some reason today. And for some reason I don’t know what to do because I’ve tried re-syncing and everything and nothing helps..
I can no longer connect....please help...this worked before but now when i press start + Y the green lights at bottom don't.go across as they used to...
Straight to the point, took me 30 seconds to make it work! I love instruction videos that are short & sweet like that.
Thanks a lot!

As great as the controller feels and is, the manual doesn't help much. This definitely helps, worked like a charm
I agree, I had to Google it every time I switched devices
Spent like a day trying to get this thing to work. After a minute now it works fine.
I tried this a hundred times a couple months ago to no avail (following the instructions included with the controller and people online with similar issues). Thank you it final works lol
I finally found someone who tested this control so I could see if it really worked on the switch. Thanks.
Was about to pull my hair out. The only thing preventing me from pairing was that I opened the Change Grip/Order screen BEFORE turning on the controller and holding the pair button on it. Thanks a million!!!

Thanks so much ,my sister spent like 10 minutes reading instructions then found this quick vid and did it in a flash
Do you need a dongle
No it connects over Bluetooth
just bought a switch today and I thought i needed the 8bitdo brick adapter for this controller to work. turns out it was easier than I thought. Thanks!
Straight to the point. Thanks for not wasting my time, sir.
Excellent. Pairing this thing is the bane of my existence.
Thank you! My controller wasn’t connecting anymore! You’re a life saver.
Wow I’ve had this controller over a year and finally got it connected with your help thank you man !
THANKS! I lost my instruction manuals and this video went straight to it.
Cheers, I don't use bluetooth controllers often so this process always trips me up.
IVE BEEN STRUGGLING FOR MONTHS!!!!! THANKS TO YOUR HELP I FIXED THE PROBLEM!!!! THANK YOU OH GREAT ONE!!!! I WILL SUBSCRIBE TO SHOW MY APPRECIATION!!!
You sir are a true gentleman among scholars
Man, pairing the SN30+ has always been “hit or miss” for me following the manual. This is so much better, than you for this!
My whole family couldn’t figure out how to do in and within 50 seconds of your video we all knew how
thanks for getting to the point so quickly! greatly appreciated!
