I use a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller via Bluetooth on Windows 10, and it doesn't seem to respond to button inputs at all.

Unfortunelately, I can't afford to buy a PS4 controller to have a compatible controller. If I could, that money would go to fixing my SSBU Switch bundle Collector Edition JoyCons, or my own game project, depending on the source of the income.

 I do have a Logitech Gamepad, however, the XBox button layout it uses is different from the Switch button layout, so if it does work, I will repeatedly get A\B and X\Y mixed up, which can cause numerous problems…

However, all this aside, I am happy to know that there are controllers that do work, but am annoyed the only one I have with the correct layout does not.

If you have steam installed see if the switch controller support extends to external applications.

Sadly, Steam explicitly blocks input to external programs… which is a problem, since if I close Steam, (Y) is [Z], (A) is [X] instead of [Z], and the whole thing is very confusing…

Think I'll stick to keyboard…
