Thank you.
After trying fucking EVERYTHING, the Xbox installation thing was the solution. Thanks dude.
one thing that was messing me up and I feel like an idiot for not thinking of it, was my switch was picking up my pro controller. I had a bill burr assembling an IKEA desk moment 😅

Didn’t realize I had to link to steam 😂 tyyyy

thx
just saved me the hussle of paying for an xbox controller, thank you good sir
This is a good Tutorial its just it keeps disconnecting
my switch controller is an offbrand amazon one does that still work or does it have to be the switch pro controller specifically? i also have a wired official one but it didn't seem to want to work
I'm able to use the controller via Bluetooth and or via the USB cable just fine. The thing I can't fix, is when the lights on the bottom controller, never stop. (The left to right to left flashing). I assume it's still trying to sync? I have no clue how to get that to stop. The 'BetterJoy' app is supposed to be able to monitor battery life, when connected to the pc. Anyone get that to work? Does anyone know of any other app that can check battery status?
How do we change the brightness of the Blue LED light around the Home Button?
We used to be able to change this with a slider and turn it on/off. But I can't find this menu anymore!
Same here. I can't find how to do it 😢
What about games on Epic Games Launcher? Will the controller work
Hey, anyone can help me? Not sure why the rumble option for this controller don't work on PC? My previous controller no issues.
Worked for me, but i disabled the steam input for Pro controller to have the xbox button layout
Does anyone have a tutorial for Wired Switch Pro for Win 11? I don't have bluetooth at all on Desktop.
Thanks for the video man! Great content. let me ask you this: If I use the "use nintento button layout" option, does games automatically reconfigure to match this button layout? Or I'd have to manually change ingame? Thanks!
Hi, having the same question, did you find the answer?
@@antonkruse2246 Hey! I actually bought the 8bitdo ult bluetooth (has nintendo layout buttons), and here's what: (1) the controller is amazing, confortable, great quality, buttons and joysticks are great. (2) it actually DOES connect to PC via bluetooth and works perfectly. BUT, even though there is this option to use nintendo layout on steam, all games I've tested DO NOT recognize this pattern, and you would have to remap buttons in-game. Even though it is possible, and it will work, buttons are not displayed as in the controller, and might confuse people who play casually (e.g. my wife). So, it's something to think about.
Essentially it just updates the big picture mode UI to use the switch pro buttons. Games will treat A as A, B as B, etc. So if you're used to playing it with an xbox controller, you'll have to get used to the a/b and x/y buttons being switched, or change them in game.
@@Torso6131 it also depends on which game you're playing, i recently bought and started playing Hades, it has the Nintendo button UI and button layout.
I have to connect mine via usb bc bluetooth wont stay connected to steam for more than like 2 seconds
it says "begin setup" and needs me to press buttons but this controller having bluetooth just keeps trying to connect and stuff. it says I can paste a layout thing from clipboard but i dont know what to paste, I've been scouring the internet for like a day trying to find it. any ideas? help lol
Every time I try to connect it, it doesn't work. It connects to my Switch perfectly fine. I'm not sure if the type of Switch pro controller matters but if so that should be specified. My controller has no plug in next to the sync button - is that a problem?
Which Bluetooth dongle do I use. My controller does not pop up in the settings. And if it pops up then it can not connect
hold the Blutooth pairing button on your pro controller until it comes up
My controller just does NOT want to work wireless. I've paired it with bluetooth, but when it connects to steam, it sometimes works for a few seconds and then there's crazy latency and then it just disconnects. And then I can't get it to connect again.
The problem a lot of us are having is that, when we turn off the controller, it won't reconnect when we turn it on again. The only way that works so far is to remove the controller from Windows and then set it up again. Bluetooth 4.0 dongles are what some have said work as are 5.4. I don't have either so I can't test that. Do you have any you can test!?
does anyone else ever get or know how to fix the bug where you can't un-pair the pro controller from windows? I get it all the time and its so frustrating, because I have to un-pair and re-pair the controller every time so not being able to un-pair makes it unusable for long stretches of time
for mine theres a like home button the the bpad like the one for nintendo switch
I'm using a cable to plug mine into my computer, it used to work just fine but all of a sudden instead of the blue ring showing up it just has the orange light on top glowing like it's charging, and steam says no controllers detected. What should I do?
I wonder if the controller started going to sleep or idle mode. You could try pressing the home button or some of the other menu buttons and see if it wakes up. My PS4 controller does that randomly and Im never really sure why.
I use a wire to plug in the Pro Controller directly and it picks it up but it keeps acting as though inputs are being done over and over and idk what to do to fix it
ii have the same problem. did u find out?
super meat boy won’t work with mine 😔😔
somewheeeeere over the rainbow
My Controller is Doing weird Stuff, i Don't Have a Official Nintendo pro Controller But Steam Detects it as one because the controller is built to work with Switch. It Connects to my PC Bluetooth Perfectly Fine But when checking for Connection's on Steam, Steam Get's Confused and Connects and Disconnect The Controller Every 3 seconds and also cancelling All optimise Window's From steam. This is Prbly a One-Time case but i would really Appreciate if some one Could Help me with the unusual Connection Problem's
If your controller is freaking out when plugged in and disconnecting all the time. its possible your power settings are not prioritizing sending enough power through the plug. If thats the case you can check your power settings. You can also change to using it plugged into your motherboard USB slot instead. You might also see if its an issue of a janky cable.
@@ChupacabraTutorials Its a Wireless controller so i don't Think That's The Problem :/
Mine says lic pro controller
I just bought a switch pro controller, and it seems to register that im hitting buttons on the calibration screen, but nothing is happening in games or even in big picture mode, none of the buttons will do anything and i am stumped.....
Somtimes you end up having to plug and unplug it and re-set it up a few times. Sometimes it works better paired over bluetooth than it does plugged in. Lot of the third party controllers that arent just some generic Xbox Controller clone work really weird if they work at all.
Hello. I have a problem with the wireless mode, in the test of the controller in the big picture mode it works and detects everything well, but in the game it does not take it. any solution?
same :(
Found a solution?
I downloaded the "better joy" program. I deactivate seteam (so that it doesn't run in the background) and that's it, it takes it as an x360 joystick@@giuli1387
I’m trying to play sonic, all stars, racing transform how do I use items?
My controller connects to my oc but doesn’t not connect to my steam this is the 3rd vid I’ve watched please help
ii have the same problem. did u find out?
Xbox Extended Feature Support Driver was not needed for me
Good to know. I just happened to install it without thinking much about it when I was making these guides. Decided to just leave it alone.
Bro probably i have a super fake i cant recognize it lol so can i use it on steam?@@ChupacabraTutorials
This tutorial broke one of my screens. Installing this dumb Xbox feature driver has messed one of my screen ports up. Even uninstalling the driver only alleviates the issue but hasn't resolved it...
And it didn't even solve my controller issue, as my Switch Pro Controller doesn't even show up when looking for it in the bluetooth list.
Does not work.
Depends on the game I think…
My tip is to use ds4 windows, betterjoy or 360ce steam is broken when it comes to nintendo controlles.
You probably have to forget the controller on your switch settings
I removed the steam input for Pro controller and it works with xbox layout
Didn’t do a single thing never helped me
UGH FOR SOME DUMB REASON I CAN ONLY MOVE MY CURSOR WITH THE RIGHT JOYSTICK WHILE HOLDING DOWN HOME. IT IS BRAND NEW. F THIS DUMB CONTROLLER
Didn’t work
thx
