RELATED: How to Connect the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con or Pro Controllers to Your PC Wii Remotes and Wii U Pro Controllers
#Wii u pro controller on switch Bluetooth#
Nintendo’s Switch Pro controller works automatically after you connect it via Bluetooth on Windows and macOS, but you’ll have to set it up in Steam to use in games. Also, if you’re crazy, you can forego the adapter altogether and splice together a couple of cables, although we don’t recommend this. MacOS has an older driver, but it may not work on newer versions of macOS. You’ll need an adapter and some custom drivers, but it doesn’t seem entirely easy. Due to problems with kernel extensions (kexts,) wireless support causes kernel panics, and is disabled in this driver. The solution? In the Game Controllers control panel, click on “Advanced,” then make the fake Xbox 360 controller your preferred device.Mac needs a custom driver. In those cases, the fake button presses prevent you from getting to the games’ setting menus to switch the controller profile. Older titles, as well as certain ones that automatically detect game controllers, sometimes use the Pro Controller profile, not the Xbox 360 profile. Simply running BetterJoyForCemu will get the Pro Controller working in many games, but it doesn’t cover all of them. Make the virtual Xbox 360 controller your default gamepad In fact, BetterJoyForCemu is so handy that I’ve moved a shortcut to the app to my startup folder (by default, you can find that at C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup) so that it launches alongside my PC. As long as that’s the controller that my games use, the problem is solved. BetterJoyForCemu simply acts like a wrapper, tricking your PC into thinking the Pro Controller is also an Xbox 360 controller.įor me, the buttons under the “Pro Controller” profile still go wild, but the virtual Xbox 360 controller works exactly like I expect it to. When you open up the control panel, you’ll notice that there are actually two controllers listed: the Pro Controller and an Xbox 360 pad. If you go to your Game Controllers control panel, you’ll see how it works. That will get your Pro Controller working with most games. Once BetterJoyForCemu is running, click the little arrow on the right side of the window to open up the advanced settings, make sure that “ShowAsXinput” is on, and click Apply. Okay, okay, there’s one more step you need to take. Just run the application, connect your Pro Controller (both Bluetooth and USB cable work fine), and there you go. However, you don’t need to run Cemu to take advantage of BetterJoyForCemu.
Download, unzip, and run BetterJoyForCemuĪs the name implies, BetterJoyForCemu is a utility designed to make Switch controllers work with Cemu, a Wii U emulator. The following method is more of a workaround for the button-pressing issue than an outright fix, but it only takes a couple of minutes to set up. I’d like to use the Pro Controller with those, too. Going through Steam, which has its own Switch Pro Controller support, works okay, but I have games I got through the Epic Games Store, Uplay, EA Origin, Xbox Game Pass, Humble Bundle, GOG, and Itch. It’s not good.įrom what I can tell, this is a common problem, and so far there doesn’t seem to be a solution. This is what my Pro Controller looks like on PC, even when I’m not pressing any buttons.
