using my switch joycons on my macbook with cloud gaming, every button seems to work except...

Hello, Colin. I'm Arturo, a community user like you (not Microsoft), and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

I take this opportunity to let you know that Joycons are not on the list of supported controllers for the cloud gaming feature. This means that issues like the one you're experiencing can happen, and as the controllers are not supported yet, a fix is not available.

The full list of supported controllers can be found here:
https://support.xbox.com/help/games-apps/cloud-gaming/cloud-gaming-tested-controllers > Note: The list of controllers that follows isn’t exhaustive. Other controllers may or may not work for cloud gaming.

Therefore, if this inconvenience affects your experience, what I can suggest is getting a supported controller to play with the correct button layout.

I know this is not the answer you were expecting, but your kindness and understanding are appreciated.

Regards,

Arturo.

he stated they are joycon which are the nintendo switch controllers, they do work with pc but both have to be paired.

i do have another question its that why can i play cloud gaming on my phone fine yet when i use it the same way on my laptop its a macbook it doesnt work i tend to play through the browser

I have a MacBook Air M1. Wired controller via USB c and wired to fiber internet and I still have the lag on every game. 100% not the controller. Google Stadia did the same. Works perfectly fine on console.

You mentioned yours works fine on my setup. What are you doing differently?

Anybody know any fixes on this or just an existing issue with cloud gaming during early times with cloud gaming?

I’ve updated everything and there’s nothing that doesn’t seem normal. Had this exact issue then updated the game, everything seemed well and fine till I tried to load onto a server and had to restart my game. Then the same issue came on where I can use all my buttons except the A button. Or No buttons at all and only the left joystick would work.
