If anyone has an “N-SL” controller that doesn’t pair regardless of what you try, I found a solution. From the “pair grip order” screen (docked or undocked): Hold B, then also hold home a few seconds until it flashes quickly, then release. It should say “controller paired” and then you press A to accept and finish pairing!
@@natenurse2229 I held B and kept holding it while I held home, then after a few seconds, blue lights started flashing much faster. At that point I let go of both, and it connected.
@@natenurse2229 hmm, maybe try holding y and home? (Seems like that worked for someone). Maybe try handheld if you were in docked, or vice versa. I don’t know if it helps to plug it in (mine wasn’t) but could be worth a try. You could also try going to the bottom of controller settings page and having it forget all controllers then come back to grip screen to try b + home again. There’s also a reset button on the back of the controller that would need a paper clip to reach in and press. B + home worked for me and someone I gifted the same type of controller to. Best of luck!
You are a huge help thank you ! I bought that wireless controller today and I was stressed out because I thought it was broken. Seeing this solved everything ‼️
I've spent months (since December) connecting this and youve helped so much 🎉 (was a gift from my aunt and was Scared to tell her that it didn't work but now I can actually say it works)
LOL LOL I've been fighting with this controller for 2 days LOL. And I watch your video and it's done. oh my gosh I feel so stupid. My daughter sent me your video of you. guys are the best of the best... thanks so much
Thank you so so so so so so much for this it was so helpful I was getting mad because I couldn’t figure it out until I saw this video. It was the only one that made sense. Thank you earned yourself a like!❤
@@chidori7451 in fact i didn't. like i said, the cable was not working but by pressing the botton like in the tutorial eventually worked. if you intend "the cable stop working and not even charging" i don't know what to tell you.
Definitely just saved me a bunch of BS. I tried to figure out this exact controller for a couple min before giving up and looking up a tutorial. I’m really glad I did cuz it took less time than what I toon writing this comment.
Thank you. Just got a controller that said it was switch lite for Christmas and was hoping we wouldn’t have to send it back. You saved me a lot of time
Thank you so much my little brother has a controller like yours but couldn’t figure out how to connect it to his Nintendo switch and after watching the video, I was able to connect it to his Nintendo switch so again thank you

Thank yall so so much. I bought these controllers for my teen daughter and she could.not get them connected. Ive tried several times and couldnt get it either. Thank you so much for figuring it out!!

Do I need to keep holding B or the home button?
@@natenurse2229 I held B and kept holding it while I held home, then after a few seconds, blue lights started flashing much faster. At that point I let go of both, and it connected.
@@andreweilermusic I'm doing that and it's not connecting still

I had mine in the bin and thought to check online before i close it and came across this :) Thankyou big help
