How to Use the "Search for Controllers” Feature on Nintendo Switch 2
Important: In order to use this feature, the controller in question must have been previously paired to the Nintendo Switch 2 console.
Before you start
Ensure that your console has the latest system update installed.
How to check for the latest system update
Complete these steps
From the HOME Menu, select Controllers, then Search for Controllers.
Tap on the icon for the controller you wish to find.
The chosen controller will begin to vibrate.
If a controller is on top of clothing or a soft object like a pillow, the vibration may become difficult to hear. Please be as quiet as possible during the searching process.
If a controller is not vibrating, try moving the console closer to where you think it might be or try searching for the controller using a different console. Controllers may not vibrate if:
They are too far away from the console.
They are out of battery or have low battery.
They are not paired to a console or are paired to a different console.
