How to Attach/Detach the Joy-Con 2 Controllers from Nintendo Switch 2

Complete these steps

Are you attaching or detaching the Joy-Con 2 controllers from the console?

• Attaching
  1. Orient the console so it's upright and facing you.
  2. Bring the right Joy-Con 2 (controller with + Button) to the right side of the console.
  3. Align the bottom of the controller close to the console, then bring the top close to the console. You will hear a click when it is securely attached.
     • Keep the area between the Joy-Con 2 and the console clear, careful not to get your fingers or other body parts pinched.
     
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the left Joy-Con 2 (controller with - Button).

  The attached Joy-Con 2 controllers are ready to be used, and will also be paired wirelessly to the console. They can now also be detached to use wirelessly.

• Detaching

  Important: After detaching the Joy-Con 2 controllers from the console, be sure to attach the Joy-Con 2 straps before starting a game or software.

  1. Press the release button on the back of the Joy-Con 2.
     
  2. While holding the release button down, pull the controller away from the console to detach it.
     

  The Joy-Con 2 registration information is not deleted when the controllers are detached. You can now use them as wireless controllers.
