For anyone in 2024, the UI for steam changed, but not to worry, just enable “Steam Input for Switch Pro Controllers” and “Enable Steam Input for generic controllers” (that way if it seems like it’s an pro controller but really isn’t, it still enables the input :D) Anyway, thank you so much! I’ve been trying to figure this out for 2 hours now and it was THIS simple
Can you probably make a video changing the settings a bit so it’s not so hard getting used to it? Like changing the sensitivity a bit and stuff. Just so that I know that it won’t be so hard
You really saved my ass man, I bought an £800 computer after having a switch for like 4 years so I could enjoy better graphics, but due to sbmm I got my ass kicked every match, I was considering quitting or going back to Switch, but now I actually have a chance, I'm still a bot, but I have a chance, so thanks lol. :D
Omg thank you sooo much I was literally not able to find a single video which showed how I can connect my $20 gaming controller but your video showed exactly how to do it so thank u a Lott 😃😃😃
I used a wireless controller & I followed everything you did, it seems like it only works on steam but it stops working once I launch the fortnite application through steam, i’m using a Mac laptop.
@@cameronishyvr5660 I think the biggest thing is making sure the epic games launcher is completely closed, you can find out by checking either the task manager or the little square box thing on your computers bottom right screen where your Bluetooth and volume usually are and hit close. The issue is the launcher opens itself up automatically on computer startup, so you need to close it and startup through steam directly
You are an absolute legend I bought a computer but I liked the switch controller better so I bought one but it did not connect so thank you so much man !
I need help! Everything you did worked for me soooo well and for about a week I’ve been using my switch controller for fortnite on my laptop! Well now it doesn’t even want to work on fortnite but it moves just fine on steam. Idk what happened! I need help :(
@@masonwagner9669 I reset all the Key binds to factory settings and it started working normally. I was ghetto rigging it for a while a certain step was making it work but it was a nuisance. When I reset it, and it started working 🤷🏽♀️
Please make a updated version for chapter 2 season 4 I do all the steps but when I got to fortnite won't let me use controller if I click the windows icon on keyboard it will let me
My problem is, it would make me press A to jump instead of B to jump, and B to build instead of A to build, if you know how to fix this problem, please tell me how, and yes I play on switch pro controller.
Does anyone else have this problem where the Y button is ALWAYS pickaxe? I want the pickaxe button to be X but it just it just always stays as Y, so when I change Y to reload and interact, and X to pickaxe, it's like interact and reload doesn't exist and then both X and Y are pickaxe buttons. Pls help
6:28 Why does my switch controller is acting like a mouse on Fortnite? I know you answered it already in the video but it was unclear on what thing you need to close out so if you can clarify that part I’m sure that will help me out. Thanks in advanced!
If anyone still having trouble I figure it out do not exit big screen just minimize it if you exit big screen it will no longer use the controller on fortnite or any game make sure you minimize it only I'm also using a third-party controller so it does work on that it's a after grow
Oh man! That means I have to get used to the buttons being swapped! I’m now on a pc but I suck on keyboard and mouse and I’m so used to pro controller! Now at least I will have 120 fps or more, and still have somewhat my skills on Nintendo! But I also have my Nintendo plugged into my pc so if I ever just want to play on Nintendo by itself with it’s usual 30 graphics I can also do so. Thank you Zye!
Hey man, nice video. Im just wondering if this same method will work with other games, I mean by opening via Steam or is this a specific case with FortniTe?
I did your same, in fact it worked but then not because the controller despite being connected and I entered the game through the streams still said that I was from maus and keyboard ...
Thank you so much. You saved me 60 dollars from buying an xbox controller. Thanks man
mZrY _ of course glad it helped!
Hey
Yo that’s nice men
It isn’t letting me do what you did making it full screen so I can go to settings
Zeckter what you mean very slight turning wont be registered?

Voice crack be like that tho 😂😂
Yessir
yup
Works in chapter 5
Yo if you can see this comment hiw can you move I can’t move in the game I can do everything except walking or running so how do I enable it
