In most cases, Nintendo Switch controllers can also be used on a PC, either wirelessly or wired. However, if you&#8217;re PC does not have onboard Bluetooth, you will need to use a Bluetooth adapter to use your controller wirelessly. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":12,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":12,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":12,\"ruleCount\":1000,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":237} --><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_clean_a_Switch_controller\"><\/span>How do I clean a Switch controller?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are a few ways to clean a Switch controller, but one of the best ways is to use alcohol wipes. These will disinfect your controller without leaving soapy residue or moisture behind. Alternatively, you can try using a soft lint-free cloth, that has been dipped in mild soap and warm water. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":12,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":12,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":12,\"ruleCount\":1000,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":532} --><\/p>\n<p>For a deeper clean, you can try using a toothbrush or cotton swab to clean dirt away from around the joysticks. Any build-up of dirt around these areas can lead to Joy-Con drift, so it&#8217;s important to give your controllers the once-over every now and then as a preventative measure. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":12,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":12,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":12,\"ruleCount\":1000,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":818} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"currentRuleCount\":1000,\"actualCount\":818,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":true,\"countRemainingForInjection\":182,\"nextBlockCount\":365,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":true,\"nextCount\":1183} --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":12,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":12,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":12,\"ruleCount\":1000,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":1000} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":13,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":13,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":12,\"ruleCount\":1000,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":0} --><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_fix_Switch_controller_stick_drift\"><\/span>How do I fix Switch controller stick drift?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Cleaning your controllers as described above can help to prevent Joy-Con drift. Additionally, from your console&#8217;s Home menu, you can navigate to Controllers and Sensors, and then Calibrate Control Sticks.
