Steam Doesn´t recognize my switch pro controller
I used BetterJoyforCemu for a while, and after it, steam stopped recognizing my pro controller.
I´ve Unistalled the BJfC drivers, but nothing seems to work
Can someone help me out here?

Steam now supports the switch pro controller. Might be because of that. Go into BPM settings then controller.

It is already in the "switch pro controller config", but it says that "no controller has been detected"

What OS are you on?

Windows 10
(OS means operational system right?)

Right, click start ---> open device manager ---> find controller ----> right click and find update driver
If that doesn't work try uninstall driver then plug in controller again.

It said that it was on the newest driver, so I tried unistalling the controller and then connecting it again. Nothing new happened, Steam still doesn't recognize it

When you did that it should have said in the bottom that there is new hardware found. And then started to download it. If you didn't see that then there is something missing.

I'm not finding where I can Unistall the driver, the only similar option is to "remove device"

That be it. This should be in your device manager.

You can try one of the following.
- Enable controller, Steam > Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings > Check the box for the Switch controller, may need to restart client afterwards.

- Exit out of Steam, now run Steam as admin.
- Opt-in/out Steam beta, can do this from Steam settings.

did you find any solution for this. i have same problem. steam can't find my controller.

@ozma this solution worked for me.

https://github.com/Davidobot/BetterJoy/wiki/FAQ-and-Problems

I reinstalled the drivers, navigated to the localhost listed and removed all devices in the currently affected devices section. Did not need to reboot. Steam picked up again with the blue light I've been looking for!

I did a restoration in my pc(reseted it, keeping my files) and it worked. It was kind of boring having to install everything on my pc again, but at least my controller is working
