Hacking Question Anyway to use my new Pro Controller (Switch) with Bluetooth on the PC ?

I only found a tool that works via Cable or one that works only for joycons.....

You literally just sync it through Bluetooth. Like, there's nothing else you need to do. I just got a Pro as well, and tried this for the first time after seeing this post and it worked right away.

I don’t have a Pro Controller but from what I have read about it is if you just pair it without anything, it’s recognized just as an Dinput device and may have some analog stick issues.

 

[Gnarmagon]

um mine isn't recognized at all
I mean it pairs but thats it. It's neither working in native Apps like Nier Automata nor in CemU.
But the tool that lets you change the Colour works well XD

That's weird. Aside from the fact that Bluetooth is always temperamental, I can't imagine why it wouldn't work when connecting mine just now was as easy as pressing the sync button and clicking sync on my computer. Keep trying?

Yeah, already gave my dad the money to buy it on amazon but we have Christmas so I have to wait at least until wednesday most likely thursday
but it seems to be somehow working with x360ce but I need some more testing :/

 

[Gnarmagon]

It's working with everything except Nier Automata but this seems to be a common Issue
What I did:

1. Connect it to Windows (10)
2. Downloaded x360ce
3. remapped all Buttons on the Controller
4. Go to Game Settings and add your ".exe" to work with the Xinput

You were right XD, I just was too stupid to check multiple Games -.-

My JoyCon-driver works with Pro Controllers, it just isn't clear because of the name and I haven't updated the readme yet

Disclaimer:
I don't own a Pro Controller to test with but it should work but if there are any bugs, please make an issue on the GitHub page

That one crashes when you start the Batch File XD

I seem to recall I could use the launch ones without any issue on Windows 8.1 have not tried pairing them on OSX though.
Ah with a specific title, sorry not going to be a big help there I'm afraid.

On a sidenote & Fun-fact; A video from Rerez on the Xenoblade Chronicles Pro Controller actually got me wondering as it has a pivot in the D-pad.
Which is a major improvement over the original (but not documented that well). I hope this comes to future iterations of the 'normal' Pro Controller.

The batch file isn't used anymore since there's a GUI, run the exe directly

tried using my switch pro controller with input redirection for 3ds
didn't work
after a shitton of testing
it only accepts XInput
not DirectInput
Pro Controller is DirectInput
How do I know? I have a Logitec controller that can switch between the two.

How do you use a Switch pro controller via USB? My PC has no Bluetooth on it sadly.

Op was kind enough to send me the link of a tool that lets you connect your Pro Controller via USB.

Here is it: https://github.com/MTCKC/ProconXInput/releases

Just follow the guide.
