Have you ever thought about hooking up another console's controller to your Switch but you don't fancy either carrying around a USB adapter dongle or running an app on another device for hid-mitm? Look no further then, as sys-con is here to save the day!

Sys-con is a custom Switch sysmodule that allows you to use third-party controllers on your Nintendo Switch. Unlike the other previously mentioned homebrew solution, which, as the name suggests, worked by MITMing Horizon OS' built-in hid module, sys-con just needs you to connect your controllers using your Dock's USB ports: no Wi-Fi connection or external applications required. Not only this will result in less input latency (and, of course, a much simpler setup) but it also means the sysmodule won't conflict with Atmosphère 0.9.4's libnx input workaround, making it fully compatible with the CFW's latest version!

There are, however, a few limitations. First off, as hinted before, sys-con only works in Docked mode. The sysmodule is also only compatible with DualShock 3, Xbox 360 (wired, the wireless dongle reportedly doesn't work) and Xbox One controllers, with DualShock 4 support coming soon. Lastly, rumble and motion controls do not work at the moment.

Sys-con has been developed by @cathery and can be downloaded by clicking the download link below. It officially supports Atmosphère and will work on FW 5.0.0 and up (warning: crashes or freezes may happen on 9.0.X due to high memory usage). You can install it by extracting the release's contents on your microSD card, overwriting if necessary, and then rebooting your console. For more information on upcoming features, troubleshooting and developer support, head over to the project's GitHub repo (also linked below).

I hope this module is gonna get updated eventually! I finally got my Hori Mini fightstick back and I'm desperate to use it...

Is this not working on 14.1.2? I'm on 13.1.0 and I'm not updating until a sys-con update makes it work on newer FW releases unless that never happens

Get a mayflash for 25$ and you'll save all the headache

Sys-con works great with my ps3 controller. I along with many thousands of other people now have a Stadia controller not being used. It would be great if we could use the Stadia controller (usb wired) connected to the Nintendo Switch dock. Please update Sys-con.

any chance for an update to make this app work with this controller

the switch n64 controller is never in stock thanks to scalpers and bots, and i originally bought the usb n64 controller from amazon in 2021 for a 64 emulator on my pc

i need a remap so that the nso menu and hte home buttons are on the d-pad and the c-buttons act like they are supposed to

i don't play any n64 games on switch that require the use of the d-pad, so that's what i'm trying to get done with it until i can get an official controller

I second this motion.
The community would gain loads if more generic controllers were supported.
