C. Using the Joy-Con™ controllers, navigate to Controllers > Change Grip/Order.
D. Now, using your controller, press and hold the sync button (at the top of the controller by the charging port) for 3 seconds until it pairs and the player indicator light at the bottom is solid.
Tip: To unpair the controller from the Nintendo Switch, hold down the sync button (located at the top of the controller) for at least 1 second. - Re-connecting the Controller

Tip: You can also press and hold the “Home” button to wake up the controller and Nintendo Switch™ device. - Charging the Controller
A. When the controller is low on battery, the “function” button’s LED (located at the center of the controller between the + and – buttons) will blink RED every 30 seconds.
B. Using the included USB-C cable, connect the controller to one of the USB ports on the Nintendo Switch dock.
C. While charging, the “function” button’s LED will pulse RED. When the controller is fully charged, the LED will turn WHITE.
Note: To prevent the controller battery from completely draining out, please charge the controller every 3 months even if it’s not in use.
D. The REALMz Wireless Controller comes with a 1 ft. USB-C charging cable. To play while charging, longer USB-C cables are available for purchase on pdp.com. - Change LED Lighting Modes

B. To explore these effects and cycle through them, hold the “function” button and press either A, B, X, or Y.
C. The REALMz Wireless Controller also comes with a “Collector Mode” light setting that allows you to keep the controller’s LEDs lit while the controller is connected to the Nintendo Switch dock via a USB-C cable. To enable these settings, follow the instructions below:
a. Plug the USB side of the cable into the Nintendo Switch dock. Then, while the controller is unplugged, hold the “function” button and D-pad right, and plug in the USB-C cable into the controller.
D. To keep the controller paired and lit for extended periods of time, you can disable the auto-sleep settings on the Nintendo Switch. On your device, navigate to System Settings > Sleep Mode > Auto Sleep (Connected to TV) > select “Never.”
Note: When the controller and system turn off, the lighting modes reset to the default mode (the mode for the A button). - Adjusting LED Light Settings
