This is the easiest way to do it

First of all sync joy cons to pc using windows bt stack

Hold 1 sec the sync button and then search it on bluetooth device manager
Tip: install vjoy driver
This will make your joycons easier to pair succesfully
If yor joycons are connected go to next step
If they aren't repeat from step 1
Now download wiinupro 0.9.2
https://github.com/KeyPuncher/WiinUPro/releases/download/WiinUPro0.9.2/WiinUPro.0.9.2.zip

Execute it

And click connect

Next, go to joy-cons tab and click on load profile
Select Joy-cons_Xinput.wup
(located inside wiinupro folder)

Now, go back to home and click add on Xlnput devices

And you are ready to go

Yep i know that method but this is extremely easier to set-up

It's kind of useless for most games though without analog control nor a proper D-Pad.

 

[NoThisIsStupider]

This guide is a bit redundant, WiinuPro has no analog support, and I made a guide a months ago for using the Joycons WITH analog support. It'll be much more useful to the average person, and the dev of WiinUPro isn't planning to add Analog support anytime soon.

there is a way to connect it on rpi3 ?

 

[KibaOokami]

It has for a while, I guess no one has posted a thread about it until now. I'm quite content with just using my Pro Controller on PC and that works out of the box without any drivers or software (still need something to emulate XInput though, XOutput is great for that) so I haven't looked too much into it, but I did come across WiinUPro supporting it a couple months ago.


Pro Controller works perfectly out of the box.


I don't know if an Android phone can emulate other BT devices. Probably not, JoyCon mode would need to be supported by the BT chip since it's not entirely standard.



I believe you can choose whether to use them as separate controllers or combine them, just like the other method.


If you are talking about the antennas that stick out of the back of the PC then those are just for wifi. BT normally doesn't have an external antenna, it's just Integrated into the PCB.


Wait, what? I thought people had figured out how to get the analogs working properly by now. Doesn't the other method have proper analogs either?

Edit: To be specific, I meant this method:
https://github.com/mfosse/JoyCon Driver
Page doesn't load right now though, Github seems to be overloaded.
@quazimojo @WiiUBricker Maybe give that one a try, I think it works with analog control.

^ https://github.com/mfosse/JoyCon-Driver you had a space instead of a dash! Should work there.

Notify me when this isn't babby's first Bluetooth connection.

 

[rac]

can it emulate gyro controls like for wiimote emulation?

 

[leon315]

does it support also motion?

 

[AquaX101]

Am I the only one who cannot maintain a connection with the joycon to the computer? When I pressed the sync button the lights start to blink on the joycon for a while but it shows up on my PC as a device to connect to. Then so I do and then my computer says its installed but when I press any button it just can't connect to the computer and stays grayed out on the device manager and the software cannot notice it. Anyone know a fix to this on Windows 7?

 

[Onepunchbruh]

Edit: Sorry didn't checked. LOL!

Anyway nice for switch joycon users.

 

[brunogildo]

I can't make both joycons connect at the same time on "blutooth device manager", once one is "connected" the other is only "paired". The only one showing on WiinUPro is the connected, not the paired one, either (L) or (R).

Compared to vjoy method, which you can just use xoutput with, this program is a failed attempt imo.

 

[DocBo]

My windows wont show up my joy cons :/

what version of Bluetooth is in use?

oh, uhh... ok, I was probably gonna chalk it up to a decades old bt adapter being the issue but nvm

 

[NintenDont]

I know this thread is old but...

The controllers are recognised as xinput? i can't seem to get it to work as a controller, though pressing buttons shows up in wiinupro...
Can someone help me?

Use joytokey (https://joytokey.net/en/) its way easier

Ew.. No... I used to think keyboard mappers were great... Until I realized they're outright useless.
