Joy-Con Right (Neon Red) (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

Keeping the software updated on your Switch can help avoid problems affecting the unit and its accessories function. This is impossible without a working controller, so you may have to use an alternate one to perform the steps. Watch the screen and follow the prompts. If your controller isn’t working correctly, you can press X to calibrate it.

If the player LEDs momentarily light up in a sequence and then shut off, pair the Pro Controller with the console. Joy-Con controllers are compatible with PC and other devices over Bluetooth, similar to the Switch Pro. Once synced, programs like JoytoKey or BetterJoy allow the Joy-Cons to work with your computer. Do Nintendo Switch Controllers Drift?If the controllers are seen but aren’t responding, you can take a few additional steps to try fixing them. Try an alternate cable or charger if you’re using an alternate controller. Sometimes the charging methods are damaged, making it impossible for the controller to get a charge. You may not even know the cables are damaged from a visual inspection. Reset the Pro Controller by pressing the SYNC Button once, then press any other button to wake it up again. Updating ensures full compatibility between your console and controllers. Reboot your Switch after updating, then test your controllers again. Try Re-Syncing the Controllers

Also make sure the Switch console is not sitting on or near any metal surfaces, as these can disrupt wireless signals. Once you’ve completed the inspection and are sure the controllers at least appear undamaged, you’re ready to try a few other things. Recharge the Controllers Racing games: There are very few racing wheels compatible with Switch, but the Hori Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Deluxe is a solid, affordable option. You can also find basic plastic wheels to slot your Joy-Cons into, but they are nowhere near the traditional racing wheel experience. If it’s just basic Nintendo Switch gameplay, then we recommend going with Nintendo’s own options. However, if you’re looking to play a specific game type on Switch, then there’s more specific advice for you: Dealing with a Nintendo Switch controller that’s completely unresponsive can be incredibly annoying. But while your first instinct may be to replace your faulty Joy-Cons or Pro Controller, some basic troubleshooting steps can often get them working again.Announced on January 12, 2021, this third red controller variant (after the "Neon Red" originals and the "Red" Joy-Con set that accompanied the launch of Super Mario Odyssey) was only sold in a bundle with the standard Nintendo Switch console (and not part of Japan's custom color program), making it a new special edition Joy-Con rather than a standalone color variety. The Switch Pro easily connects to PC via a wired connection. Going wireless requires jumping through a few hoops, but it’s a fairly painless process. You just need to pair the pad using Bluetooth. Your device should recognize the controller, and then you can set it up in Steam. With Steam, all the button mapping will be done for you, as it’s recognized as an Xbox controller. However, if you're playing games outside of Steam, you'll need the 8BitDo Wireless USB Adapter or special programs to make the Switch Pro Controller act like an Xbox gamepad.
