You'll definitely want to learn how to connect a PS5 Controller to your Nintendo Switch if you own both. Have you ever used your Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons to play for more than four hours and felt your fingers go numb? Me too. I love Joy-Cons because they are great for short gaming sessions and for multiplayer, but let's be honest, they aren’t the best for long sessions. I don’t own a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller yet — as it’s quite expensive — so using the Joy-Cons with the standard grip hasn’t always been the most comfortable.
Good news, though, is that you don’t need a Switch Pro Controller if you have either a PlayStation 4 DualShock 4 or PlayStation 5 DualSense controller lying around. While you can’t connect it directly to your Switch, you can use the 8BitDo Wireless USB Adapter, and it’s not nearly as expensive as a Pro Controller — it costs just $19 / £14!
