The switch Tatacon is not working for me

[Asriel]

Anyone found out how to get this fixed? I'm baffled on why the game isn't able to detect my tatacon despite its connected.

The game doesn't support the Switch drum controller by default, but thanks to Steam Input, you can easily get it to work!
Go to Steam -> Settings -> Controller, it should show up there. Then configure the button mappings. Most should be obvious. No analog sticks, just d-pad. And the drum hit zones (don = red, interior & ka = blue, rim) should be mapped to L3/R3 (stick clicks) for don, and LT/RT (triggers) for ka.
Then just use "drum controller" as input method inside the game when asked.

It's sad that Bandai Namco didn't add built-in, support, but it was to be expected. They'll release new tatacons for PS5 and Xbox, both of which will work with the PC version:

use a software call "joy to key", this will transform the tatacon input in a keyboard input

It's not working for me for the Switch drum, how do I get controller layout to register the rim and center hits?

EDIT: i got it to work, i wasnt hitting the drum hard enough LOL

The controller is ok, but how do you do to make it not slide away when u hit it?

Any tips?

I think you're supposed to use two 16oz water bottles and put them in the back of the controller to weigh it down. That's what I've been doing.

But recently I've used 2 M2 velcro pads and cut them up so I put four cut pieces on the surface i'm playing on and the other four cut pieces on the black pads at the bottom of the controller. Works really well for my setup.
