The actual software for using a switch pro controller, wiinupro, is not particularly good for windows at all.

It needs more time to develop, I wuld more recommend a DS4.

You might be able to do the basics, but I could never get rumble working

Why do you want to torture yourself?

If you have a switch pro controller sure you have a switch: buy it there.

If you want to play it on pc use a cheap 360/One controller and done.

You surely chose the most uncomfy option, nintendo controllers (sadly) always had an hard time on pc.

The Switch pro Controller connects directly via Bluetooth, and Steam recognizes it as a xInput Controller

Also, I don't know if its the case where you live, but SWD2 is like 30$ on Switch here

You're thinking of the Wii U Pro Controller, Switch can connect directly by Bluetooth

No I am not and I am well aware the switch pro controller can connect through bluetooth. I have one.

I still used wiinupro because it is actually designed for switch controlllers. As far as I am aware there are no other programs for switch controllers at present. Otherwise it acts as an acient directinput controller and good luck getting that working.

It doesn't work very well, trust me. Development was (temporarily) abandoned at 0.9 with little usage instructions.

Ok, I just bought Steamworld Dig 2 here on Steam and you're not going to believe this.

Not only does the Switch controller work with it, but it recognizes it AS a Switch Controller so it shows Switch buttons on the interface and everything!

Good to know! I am very used to having to emulate an xbox controller using a dualshock 4. Does rumble work?

game is the same price as the steam version :happy_creep: im gonna assume he wants to use the switch controller because you can hold both controls in seperate hand split apart, while having both arms on your arm rest on your chair. xbox and ps4 controllers cant do that. more comfortable way.

That tells me Switch to Windows porting for various devs would be an easy task
