Pro Controller Motion Controls Are Not Responding Correctly or Cannot Be Calibrated
Description:
- The motion controls on the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller such as tilt or shake are not responding correctly.
- You are unable to calibrate the motion controls on the Pro Controller.
Additional Information:
If a different component of the Pro Controller is not responding correctly, select the appropriate knowledge article such as buttons, control sticks, or the +Control Pad.
What to Do:
- Ensure your console has the latest system update installed.
- Ensure the Pro Controller is paired to the console and that the battery is charged.
- Once the Pro Controller is paired, reset the controller by pressing the SYNC Button once. Then press any other button on the Pro Controller to power it on again.
- Ensure that nothing is covering the Pro Controller such as protective covers or skins, then calibrate the motion controls.
- Ensure that the software or application you are using is compatible with the Pro Controller and that it supports motion controls.
- Some games such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe require the motion controls to be activated manually.
Situation Not Resolved:
If the calibration fails or if the motion controls are not responding with any supported software, the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller will need to be repaired.
