Wired switch pro controller recognised as 360 controller

[PunkHaz4rd]

I tried to find an answer but couldn't since all are using the NSP controller wirelessly apparently.

When I go to Steam -> Settings -> Controller -> General Controller Settings
my NSP controller isn't recognised as a Switch controller but as Xbox 360 controller, even if steam allegedly provide support to Switch controllers.
I cannot remap the controller.

You can remap it, Steam can remap XInput gamepads just fine. I remapped mine for The Witcher 3 & Darksiders 3.
That said, Steam sees what it gets from the system. Check the device manager what your gamepad identifies yourself as.

On windows, it's recognised as HID-compliant game controller.
I guess yours isn't named the same ? I'm lost

The name doesn't matter. What matters, is that you can still remap this thing.

Well I cannot

How can you not? What happens when you try? Are you trying to change the global configuration or the per-game one?

I just opened the global configuration for my XBox gamepad and I could remap all the buttons however I wanted. So what happens when you try? What happens when you open general controller settings with the gamepad attached?

I get a simple menu for preferences and calibration.
In preferences, I can change
- Controller Name
- Haptics Preference (whatever that is lmao)
- Rumble (on / off)
- Player slot led
- Controller Light Brightness

That's not Steam's controller prereferences menu. Steam's controller preferences menu shows "Guide Button Focuses Steam", "PlayStation Configuration Support", a couple more of those and then a button which lets you remap this gamepad.

Looks like you're in the per-game configuration menu. Let's see. Do you want to remap this thing only for this particular game, or all of them? Do you want a game-local mapping or a global one?

Oh yeah I have those too, just when I hover the controller, it doesn't let me remap it, just the useless menu to calibrate and preferences.

Don't "hover", click on it! When I do, I get a button "Remap layout".

I'm not that dumb, JFC. There's no button to remap it. whether I click on it or hover, the menu doesn't change for this controller.

Well, you gotta admit, you were setting up confusion by talking of hovering. By the way, I just looked it up and it's "define layout" here, not "remap layout".

With that out of the way, enable the "generic" input mapper then & remap this thing for a particular game then. You can enable it globally or on a per-game basis.

Something seems to be off with your Steam though. I just plugged in my "generic" gamepad (so same as yours, some HID stuff) and when I click it, I get to a mapping screen. And after running that, I get that button I was talking about earlier when clicking it.

-> Jersey Fried Chicken.
In the abomination that is Big Picture Mode, it's the same either you hover or click on it.
I do get a mapping screen on my Orbweaver (it's a pad with 20 programmable buttons). So yeah pretty useless to get the mapping on the pad that doesn't need it.
Maybe it's steam, maybe it's my computer, what I'm sure of, it's really depressing.
