Issues with Nintendo Pro Controller, random inputs

[Gardosuro]

I have I started having issues with my pro controller starting today while playing Monster Hunter World. I have been using the pro controller for a while now, and for some reason today my game crashed two times, and since then, whenever I use my pro controller on MHW, it starts spazzing out, inputting random buttons very quickly. I can, for some reason, navigate big picture mode without issue, but when I got in MHW it starts inputting stuff I'm not. For some reason, only today it started happening even if I've used this same controller for over 200h in this game!

Did you opt out of Steam Input for the game or in your global settings? If a controller is connected over BT we can toggle the mode in and out of the "advanced" input mode w/ gyro data but for USB the "simple" mode doesn't work so games either need to understand the "advanced" mode input reports or they will end up reading random garbage bytes as if they are button inputs.

Sadly that did not work, I tried turning it off and on, restarting Steam and such.

In the end I fixed it, but only after trying a bunch of things. I ended up messing with the settings, even trying to sync it to my Switch and such. What seemed to work in the end was syncing my Pro Controller with my Switch and updating the firmware of the controller itself with the Switch, that seemed to do the trick! So either syncing my controller, updating it or me messing with the settings helped... I sadly couldn't tell you which.

If someone knows if there's a way to update the firmware of the controller without a Switch, that could be a solution, but otherwise it seems you need to connect it to one to update.

But thanks for the help, maybe you can figure out which one of those could have solved it?

I currently have Switch Pro Configuration Support and Use Nintendo Button Layout on and it doesn't spazz out anymore as far as I can tell with the whole process I did.

I have solved my issue by using a community made "nintendo switch" controller preset. you can acess this by using the home button while in either big picture mode or in game and looking around in the controls menu, if this helped you then I want you 2 know that I love u....
