Sorry for very very off topic, but this video just popped into my recommended and WOW I haven't seen you for like 5 years. Glad you're still going strong and as always thank you for being a very helpful youtuber!
Thanks. Yeah still trucking along. So long as I keep running into annoying things that I can record and share how to fix, ill be around.

Bro off topic it depends alot on if you need the info or not
Hell Yeah! This was a lot easier than the other options I saw and attempted. With less hassle and good design. No need to install two different software from various websites. Straight to the point and easy to set up. Thanks for the video. Hopefully more people will find this.
It works well, but i'm kinda scared about the glowing home button lol.
Didn't know the joycon could do it.
Its just glows up when its connected via Bluetooth to a device (your pc or laptop for example)
I think that’s supposed to work for a potential “Messages” feature the Switch doesn’t have as of yet. The Wii U game pad had it too, except that feature was actually used.
Doesnt glow for me and im using the original joycons are these ones newer?
This one was a really good tutorial!
Unlike some others, you explain the step of installation of the ViGEMBus drivers.
Also, since I experienced some issues trying to install the program from other tutorials, here is some advice to anyone that tried doing that (or installing it by themselves)
-Even though there are more modern versions, the one that this guy used might best as the most recent version (as of the time I am typing this) has issues on popping up the window for JoyCons.
-If you accidentally install a more recent, or another version of the ViGEMBus drivers, and must uninstall it to install another version (or if you were installing them and something went wrong in the installation), you can uninstall the driver by looking up ViGEM Bus Driver in Apps and Features (in Windows 10). HOWEVER, if that does not give you any results, you may still find it with another name, as the name shown for ViGEM in Apps and Features is different depending on the version of the driver [I know this because when I tried deleting it once, looking up ViGEM did not work). If you cannot find it, scroll trough all of the list. Find it by looking at the image of a green controller.
-Once you actually installed all the stuff and everything went fine:
Your computer, or the program that you want to use the Joycons with might not show up anything on "Wireless Gamepad" or "Xbox 360 Controller". If "Wireless Gamepad" does not work, try with "Xbox 360 Controller". If you are not sure which one your computer detects as "connected", you can look for "setup USB game controllers" in your search bar. There, you can then go to the "properties" of both of them and see which one your computer detects (what I mean is: Go to test under "properties", and there, try rotating the motion stick. If the thing moves, then that is the one. If not, try with the other controller option.)
I hope that helped anyone facing any issues like the ones I faced during my journey.
Thank you so much!!! I was not able to find VIGEM Bus Driver in app!
My sticks dont work, they only make me like barely walk in games and only changed when I connected better joy- do you know anything about this? thank you!
This is amazing! I was shocked at how easy this was! Thank you! Really hoping to see a second video about the advanced features!
Thanks so much! It really does work! Finally I can play games using joycon instead of the mouse and keyboard. Amazing step by step tutorial
Thankyou bro, you made it very easy to follow, even with this video being slightly outdated. big help
Super easy and straight to the point! Thanks so much for the help it started working immediately!
i think playing in star wars squadrons with the nintendo switch is such a genius idea i have not thought about it after all these years and decades later i still have not used it so worth it thanks so much!
Fantastic video, thanks so much. Was having an issue where I had installed the driver to the wrong folder and felt pretty silly. Appreciate your clear and detailed instructions! :)
Worked!!! Very good tutorial!! (this is in 2022 idk if it works in the year ur wathching this)
It does. I'm in 2022
At first I thought I'd have to buy one of those joycon dongles to do this. Thanks, man!
This was very helpful, thank you so much 😊
this was so helpful, thank you so much!!!
Thank you! I'll try it right now! Just figured out that I can use Joycons on Steam
This video helped me a lot, thanks.
The best tutorial men, you´re the crack, even works with steam games!
tysm
Split controllers are mad comfy >:D
Thanks man this help in a sticky situation where me and friend wanted to play cuphead but he forgot his controller saved a drive back :))
Very simple and to the point. Thank you.
God bless the guy who made this program
Super helpful! I'm on vacation and forgot my pro-controlled at home, joycons will do for now!
this was mad helpful, thank you!
Very good video. Worked directly
mine connect but then disconnect and swap from connected to paired in bluetooth settings, why does this happen?
Thank you so much for being thorough with your explanation. I was almost in tears yesterday from frustration. Now, I realize, I didn't download the release version 🤦♀️
Glad that detail helped.
The lights on the joycons keep flickering and searching to sync. The windows thing says they're connected, but the right joycon isn't lighting up to say it's synced.
I'm having exactly the same issue. Did you find a solution to this problem?
it says as long as it's connected to the pc it should still work ruclips.net/video/y9CM8j6dzHw/видео.html&ab_channel=Nintendrew
same
I think this only happens with older joycons
Your not alone buddy I am having the same problem but my Joy cons were synced the first time when I just did this after watching this youtuber named LcLc. He did the exact same method in this video as well so that just gave an idea to connect in my own time.
Thank you so much!
wow THANK YOU it worked for me frfr
Works for Xcloud, Thanks !
thank you so much very helpful
life saver 👍🔥
Thank youu soo much i have you a like and subscribed
Preciate it boss man!
Liked your windows 10 skin, which one is that?
Only works if I have a single joycon. If I connect two, it has like 3 second input lag :/
So I'm using the joycons for a 2 Player Geometry Dash level and while I can separate them, the left one doesn't have a jump button assigned to it. Any ideas?
Edit: The left joy-con needs to be linked to the up arrow key control wise.
thank you very much :) now i can play modded stardew with my switch controllers
i tried doing it but the lights on my joy con R kept on flashing endlessly
thank you for the tutorial
left doesnt blink and i dont see them in the settings
So i did this exact thing and it's all well and good, but my right joycon now (seemingly) permanently has an LED light on behind the home button. Resyncing it to my Switch did nothing, and even removing the device from my laptop's Bluetooth devices didn't do anything. It's just a white light, always on. I cannot find anything about this, only people having issues with lights not turning on at all, nothing about a light being STUCK on.
Any ideas about this? Possible fixes?
EDIT: Well trying to use the sync button didn't do anything the FIRST time, but I just hit the sync button on the joycon again after removing the device from my laptop's Bluetooth menu and that turned the light off. Odd. Guess I can keep this here in case anyone else has this issue lol
The lights behave funny on the joycons when using them with literally anything besides the Switch. No idea why. Sometimes the likes on the back continue to flash as if they are still in "Discoverable" or "Pairing" mode. When they arent.
how do i fix my joy cons keep flickering and my pc says they're connected but they're not.
Same
Does anyone know why my pc can't detect the right Joycon? Left one is found instantly, and works great, but I want to play a game that require both joycons, and my pc can't seem to even find the right joycon when scanning for Bluetooth devices for some reason
Dziękuje, działa i to bardzo dobrze 😀👍
this is so cool thank you gamer viking
anytime
Tq bro for the tutorial
doesn't work for me, only the left has been foudn and paired, but it's not really connected, the light is not on
When I click the Bluetooth button on my pc it doesn’t work and shows an error message
thx so much for the vid
The sync buttons were different for me but it worked eventually
I can't connect my right joycon
Is there anyway to get this working with 3rd party joy-cons? mine keep getting recognized as 2 pro controllers. Im using the binbok joycons.
Thanks for the tutorial. Does it work together? I mean, both joy cons as one with the adaptor?
this betterjoy thing is weird, i did what u did in the video last week but it didn't work, tried it again today & it worked. Thanks dude 🙌
Thanks man
Thanks!
So I have got everything working but it won’t seem to be picking up my two controllers? Any fixes? (Joy cons)
thx
They keep disconnecting and reconnecting for me
What happened to the more advanced features and advanced driver stuff you promised in this video? I just looked at part 2 and there is nothing about those items.
Solid point. Ill have to make that video
Do you know how to use the joycon with any other software, not only games?, for example with 3D modeling softwares
When using certain programs with BetterJoy, the Xbox game bar glitches in and out and i have to turn the controller off to fix it.
Does this work for windows 11?
I keep getting an "unhandled exception has occurred" error when trying to open BetterJoy, and the dev closed the github post where someone asked how to fix this with no explanation, so he seems like an unhelpful chode. Any solutions?
Edit: Turns out through trial and error that I had the wrong version installed for my computer. And to connect a Pro Controller you need to go to "Add Controllers", move your controller by clicking the right arrow, and then change type to Pro Controller. Why nobody has mentioned this in a video is beyond me.
Well this video needs an update so consider it mentioned
connecting is easy, im having problem in reconnecting them when they are already paired, like when i try to connect them next day or after i turn on my PC they just don't connect, i have to manually remove them from my devices and add time again, and for some reason left joycon refuse to get removed from my devices and i cannot connect to it, is there any good solution for this?
Hey sorry i see this 7 months later lol i have the same problem do you know how to fix it ?
thank you bro i can now play wii sports on dolphin emulator
steam works nativley but third parties must use this works good ty for the tutorial
It worked, but when I turn on the joycons again, I can't reconnect them to the pc. Do I have to unlink/link them every time I want to play in pc?
Yep..
Just a heads up: Steam can natively understand joy cons, even recognising two as one controller. Just go to settings and controller to check!
I was having trouble with steam and betterjoy registering as two full controllers in a game.
sorry mate this is what I'm having. I have to ask you. Steam Setting? Ryujinx Setting or BetterJoy Setting? Sorry to bother you.
Thanks mate. Everything is working like a charm and perfectly connected. Except my right joyCon acted like mouse device and Steam app started reacting to my clicks. I exited Steam but I can't seem to get the game (Just Dance) to react. Still connected but the game says controller is disconnected. Any fix?
my laptop did not pick up my joy con. I pressed the button on the joycon like u said, then added a new bluetooth device, but it did not get it
Thank you
Is it possible to do keyboard remapping via "better Joy" i.e. set the left joycon analog stick to "W,A,S,D" ?
My JoyCons won't show up on the Connected controllers, what do I do. Because my Joycons are connected to my pc.
I know this video is old, but I'm running into a few different issues (an error on launch, but I can hit continue). at first no controllers at all were showing up, and I managed to fix that, but the joycons still aren't! (if they are, they have numbers instead of proper names. i've tried selecting these to see if that's the case, but they still won't show up in the little locate boxes no matter what I do). Any advice? I'm hoping to get a pro controller at some point but this is what I've got to work with for now.
I did everything in the video, everything was saem for me, joy con is lightened up, it shows them connected everywher but even when I turn on final fantasy XIV and do anything the controller just doesnt work and nothing happens in the game... plase help...
Same here.
thx man
I watched this and it was helpful but my right controller won’t connect at all? Got any idea how to fix that
Best video
the app closes immidiately and it wont let me open it; "instance already running"
thanks soo much
mines just keep conecting and just being paired. Any solutions?
I need some help if anyone can. I'm having an issue on whichever joy-con I collect last, it has a pretty big delay, but the first one I connect works perfectly fine. Does anyone know how to fix this?
first time i set it up, i can use it easily and play game with my 2 joycon (left & right) as 1 controller and the light on home button is on. but in the next day i pair again, it doesnt work. i dont know whats wrong.
I am having the same problem here as well buddy. The first time I synced my joy cons they were synced perfectly fine sadly I didn't get time to play or test any games on it so the next day I synced them again they weren't actually synced even tho my PC bluetooth were saying CONNECTED OR PAIRED! so I am so mad cuz these controllers aren't that old. I bought them in 2021
Umm I'm very confused about keymapping, i want to use them as a regular controller in game but the keymapping feature doesn't have all the buttons needed..?
the joycons arent showing up in this betterjoy thingy
im not getting those horizontal joy con icons. it connects them as 2 whole xb360 controllers
Can this be used to fake lightguns for lightgun/zapper games
I'm using it with CEMU playing Zelda BOTW. I've been using PS4 controller with DS4 Windows. I wanted to try the Pro Controller but when I go forward Link goes back, when I go back Link goes forward. When I map the up & down backwards it does the same thing
my joycons dont come up on bluetooth on my PC. Ive also tried on my phone to see if it was a PC issue but didn't come up on there either.
Thanks
when I try to open the better joy folder it says instance already running can someone help me with this thank you.
So, Im super late but I use this and when i use the joycons it begins opening up every thing and clicking randomly on my desktop. Turns out my Joycon is now linked with my keyboard and mouse. How do I fix it and get it to stop clicking and typing everywhere? It even opens up a On screen keyboard..
The controller just works in cloud gaming beta version . Is there any solution for that ?
Can this be used as motion sensors?
i cant connect the controllers to betterjoy plz help
i have the same problem man
my better joy stopped working, it connects the joycons but i cant actually use them. someone help me
Hey, so how do you connect your joycons again after pairing them? I have to remove them from my list of paired devices, then pairing them again if I ever disconnect them.
It worked perfectly thank you! But sadly it doesn't seem to be working for genshin impact? Any idea?
