Choose the matching mode first by holding the Mode button ~2s, then hold the Pairing button for 2 seconds until the indicator flashes quickly. On Nintendo Switch the easiest first link is over the dock with the supplied USB-A-to-USB-C cable — it pairs automatically and you can then unplug for wireless. On Windows pick "GuliKit Controller"; on Android, iOS and macOS pick "Xbox Wireless Controller".
