    Nintendo Switch 2 wired controller support has been re-enabled

    Wait, switch controllers are compatible with non-switch things? I’m surprised that I’m surprised at this, but never even crossed my mind to try.

    I take it the normal wireless ones are not compatible though?

      The Switch 1 Pro Controller and Joy-Cons worked over Bluetooth from day 1 on PC/Mac/Android iirc, but some extra patches (or certain programs) were needed to combine the individual Joy-Cons as a single controller.

        Didn’t have time to thoroughly read the guide, but 2 minutes of searching turned this up.

        Neat idea. Doubt I’ll do it, but cool to know its an option.

          Is this written by AI? It flips between PC and Steam Deck without apparent reason.

          But yeah, you can use them wirelessly and Steam even allows you to remap the buttons if you want them to be more like normal controllers.

            Unclear. I didn’t spend much time reading the article, primarily wanted to show that guides to making it work exist.
