Greetings, my Switch Pro Controller is not able to connect/sync wirelessly to anything. I literaly tried everything I found on forums but nothing works. When I tried to connect it to PC/Android it is showing device in bluetooth but can´t be paired. I am hopeless, please.

What I tried:

  • Updating Controller
  • Detach joycons to connect
  • Hold sync button endlessly
  • Charge controller
  • Connecting it to PC (can´t connect either)
  • Try connecting it to other Switch (can´t connect)

@Richsk If doing all those things you listed didn't solve it, hardware failure might be possibility. Although, I've never heard of this issue before. I'd say contact/call Nintendo customer support, but I'm not sure if you have access to that in your area.

Does you Pro Controller work when plugged in with the usb cable?

When I go to a friends house, I have to use the Switch usb cable to plug into their console in order to make their console recognize my Pro Controller. And I might have needed to do the same thing again, when I come home to re-pair/re-sync with my Switch. I don't know if pairing with another device(pc, android) could trigger the same situation. I don't think this is your problem. I'm as puzzled as you are. I'm just thinking out loud, here.

@WoomyNNYes As I thought. Problem will be propably in Hardware but on the outside everything looks just fine. Controller is blinking while syncing, even show up in bluetooth but refuse to connect.

I don't think Switch uses BT it's not turned on. So what are you really seeing then?
