Background

Third-party Nintendo Switch controllers are made by manufacturers other than Nintendo. They may connect by USB, Bluetooth, or a wireless USB receiver, and many models also support computers or mobile devices.

This category organizes repair information for third-party controllers designed for or compatible with the Nintendo Switch family. Official Joy-Con and Nintendo Pro Controllers remain under the Nintendo Switch Family. Third-party controllers for earlier Nintendo consoles are organized under Third-Party Nintendo Controller.

Identification

Find the manufacturer name and model number on the back, underside, battery compartment, or packaging. Some manufacturers sell similar-looking controllers for different platforms, so verify the model number and supported systems before following a repair guide.
