Nintendo switch pro controller on xbox game pass pc explained

While this controller is not supported currently officially, it will read as a generic gamepad via DirectInout. pC Magazine has some tips

To understand what drivers are needed I would recommend contacting Nintendo Support directly. Any sources that I post may not be accurate however, Nintendo can supply you with the proper drivers, if there are any. I've been checking the forums for this issue and found a number of threads:

• Switch Pro Controller not being recognized correctly - Microsoft Community
  
• Nintendo Switch Pro Controller doesn't connect via Bluetooth - Microsoft Community
  
• Pro Controller Not Working With PC Anymore - Microsoft Community
  

I know it may seem silly but, if it was working wired prior and then suddenly stopped working and bluetooth works fine, have you tried a different wire? I only ask because it was not mentioned here, but I'd like to go ahead and make sure that we have that covered. Also I do not know that if Steam is involved, if it has an issue with the controller, can you check and see if it works with games that are not in steam, or use a different launcher?

Thanks,

Not sure if that would work?

Hi Fellow gamer,

As the question has been answered, I will go ahead and lock this thread as to prevent repetitive answers. Feel free to come back anytime if you have a question or issue.



Thanks,

Brad
