Can I use Nintendo joy-con on PC?

[KEFAN]

I connected joy-con, but it doesn't work in game. My joy-con does work in other games.

Hi,

waiting a Devs' reply, I doubt that the pc version of DKAS support the joycon.

Just for info: other Steam games support the joycon?

Thanks.

Some time ago i tried connecting a joycon to my laptop via bluetooth and it seemed not to work. Any special tricks you did ?

Ok so I've just got back to the issue and tried and this is what I can report:

- the Nintendo Switch PRO is straightforward, you just get it hooked via bluetooth and that's it

- the individual JoyCons register via bluetooth but - at least for me - the sync light keeps cycling . I understand that's not something you just live with if it happens. However, they also don't register in the game by default. What I was able to do is go in Steam Big Picture and configure them (go to Settings -> Controller Settings -> You'll see each as a Wireless Gamepad. You'll just need to assign buttons over there the best you can, use the keyboard to navigate the menu and assign the stick as the "d-pad". Now keep in mind that joycons have less buttons than a regular controller normally so you'll have to use the shoulder buttons too, but in practice I found that practical and was able to play ok with those. You need to go down through all controls before you can save the configuration.

Hope this makes sense, let me know if you need further info or help :)

TL:DR Yes, joycons work but actually need you to configure all butons in Steam Big Picture Controller Settings.

Disclaimer: I have no idea what this will do to other games where the joycons used to work by default?

Thank you for replying. I followed your steps configuring it in Steam's controller settings and it works!

I tested games where joycons used to work by default, joycon still works as default.
