As far as I know, this is the very first firmware update for the Pro controllers. Add a splash of style to your Nintendo Switchв„ў console with Joy-Conв„ў controllers and Joy-Con straps. It's size, shape and weight allow for hours of comfortable gaming. These are the known problems with the controllers for Nintendo Switch. Important: This process may not be able to copy the microSD card contents correctly in environments other than Windows (such as Mac). And it even has back buttons that my other controllers do not have. If you need to use it in a non-Steam game, you can try AntiMicro for Windows and Enjoyable for macOS, both free.The new system update includes firmware updates for the joycons and the Pro Controllers. If you need to remap your controller, you can use SteamвЂ™s built-in Big Picture Mode to do so. If your controller isnвЂ™t listed here, or you canвЂ™t get it to work with these guides, a quick Google search for the controller name plus your OS version and вЂњdriverвЂќ should lead you to decent results. Usually, it will list its compatibility on Amazon, so make sure to buy one thatвЂ™s compatible, or pick up something more mainstream. Third Party Controllers will vary depending on what you get, but most should use the same standard XInput connections. Most adapters should use standard XInput and DirectInput connections and should be configurable in Steam and any of the apps below. Other Retro ControllersВ usually need adapters, unless you get updated USB versions of them. Most should work with an adapter, so itвЂ™s best to check their wiki for instructions.

This oneвЂ™s a little weird, as Guitar Hero has many different console versions, but thereвЂ™s still a thriving community on PC with CloneHero. It does involve disabling SIP, though admittedly just for kext extensions, which is a little safer. There is a workaround, but it may not work with every adapter. Note that macOSвЂ™s HID implementation overrides DolphinвЂ™s direct communication with the device, so it doesnвЂ™t support having multiple controllers plugged in. Dolphin can communicate with it directly,В though, and will support the Wii U mode, which can fix some bugs with the additional ports. This adapter has a switch so you can use it on PC as well as console, which will turn it into an HID device rather than a proprietary console only one. You can get an official one, but the Mayflash adapter seems to work fine for half the price. Support may vary though depending on the adapter you get. YouвЂ™ll need an adapter of course, but Windows and Mac should be supported by default through HID.

However, the current release doesnвЂ™t work either, so youвЂ™ll have to build the latest commit from source in Xcode, update a bunch of build targets, fix a few errors, sign it with an Apple developer account, and then after all that you have to boot into Recovery Mode and disable system integrity protection to install it.В Only then can you properly connect the controller. MacOS Sierra broke support for the only driver, Wjoy, but it was updated on a new fork. System-wide use is technically supported, but we heavily recommend finding a new controller. Mac is supported in the same way-only in Dolphin. Dolphin, the Wii emulator, supports using them as inputs, but we didnвЂ™t have any on hand to test system-wide use.

Windows will connect the controller by default, but it may not be usable as a controller in all apps.

NintendoвЂ™s Switch Pro controller works automatically after you connect it via Bluetooth on Windows and macOS, but youвЂ™ll have to set it up in Steam to use in games. Also, if youвЂ™re crazy, you can forego the adapter altogether and splice together a couple of cables, although we donвЂ™t recommend this. MacOS has an older driver, but it may not work on newer versions of macOS. YouвЂ™ll need an adapter and some custom drivers, but it doesnвЂ™t seem entirely easy. Due to problems with kernel extensions (kexts,) wireless support causes kernel panics, and is disabled in this driver.
