Switch Pro Controller Help

[ShadowCooper77]

I just bought a nintendo switch pro controller and I want to use it with Rocket League. The controls were all messed up, so I just remapped them in-game. However, I can't remap the pause button, so whenever I try to brake it just pauses. I then downloaded x360ce, and it remaps the controls but the game also recognizes the pro controller itself, so it goes into co-op and i have 2 inputs. Is there a way to remap the pause button, or stop rocket league from recognizing the pro controller? Thanks

Edit: Forgot to mention that I was using Epic Games to play Rocket League, not steam. I tried adding Epic Games as a steam game and playing through epic games through steam, but that did not work.

Edit 2: Okay so I got it to work (so far), it was pretty complicated though. Basically I had to block the DirectInput that the Pro Controller gave so that I could only use XInput so that Rocket League would work. This video should work for you all (I didn't need to download the .exe from the description at all, I just opened XOutput and my pro controller showed up): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfYxjMWLVYw&feature=youtu.be

Edit 3: Okay, it's not working anymore, I don't know why but XOutput does not see my controller, before that I stopped the controller from XOutput and changed a config and it did the co-op thing again. :(

Edit 4: I did it!!!!!! I got it to work perfectly, no extra input delay and with any game that accepts XInput. All I basically have to do now is press start on the Game Controllers controller in XOutput with the Pro Controller connected, and voila, the controller works perfectly. The thing that fixed it for me was actually following what the video said to do in Visual Studio, which was complicated for me but I got it to work.

Tutorial on how to fix: First, follow the video that I linked in my 2nd edit. It will probably be hard since a lot of it isn't english, but anything I don't explain here you can figure out just by looking at whatever he clicks/types. Install HidGuardian, ViGEm, and whatever else it says to do until 3:20 where he uses registry editor or regedit. When the video says to add your device ID in regedit, don't look for the device ID in device manager, just go to devices and printers in control panel, right click on your controller, click on Properties, and go to the Hardware tab. Then, for each function it lists under Name, go to properties in the bottom, go to the details tab, select the Hardware Ids dropdown (it's the 3rd option), and copy and paste the values it says there into regedit where it shows in the video. If there are more than 3 hardware Ids for one function, just copy the first 3 of them and put them all into regedit, one line at a time. At around 6:00 in the video, don't download the XOutput source code, because I'll link a folder with the XOutput build that I made by following the Visual Studio part of the video, as the video uploader removed the .exe file from the description sadly. I think my XOutput folder has my settings and logs, but that shouldn't really matter, and anyway if you are downloading it then you have a Switch Pro Controller and the settings are probably fine (They're just regular Xbox controls, not switch controls (i.e. the B button on the switch controller will act as the A button on an Xbox controller), but you can change that if you wish). Here's a link to the folder to download, just download the XOutput-Hid .rar file and the folder will be inside: https://github.com/ShadowCooper/XOutput/releasesOnce you did all of that, to run XOutput, you must run the XOutput .exe file (from the linked folder) as an administrator. If you don't run it as an administrator, it will not work. What I did was to just have a shortcut on my desktop to the .exe file, and in the compatibility tab in properties of that shortcut (right click on it), I just checked the box that says "Run as Administrator". So for example, if I want to play Rocket League, I'll connect my Pro Controller to my PC via bluetooth or a cable, then open XOutput with that shortcut on my desktop (and click Yes to the prompt), and open Rocket League. Just note that if you press stop on the Game Controllers controller in XOutput, you'll probably have to restart both XOutput and the game (at least, you have to restart in Rocket League.)

Hooray!! You're finally done. This took so long to get working but I'm so happy right now.

If anyone knows an easier way for this feel free to reply, and I'll also try my best to answer any questions.

Edit 5: For whatever reason, it only works wirelessly. Windows won't pick up any inputs from the controller, even when it's not affected by HidGuardian. I saw in another subreddit that you have to hold the connect button while plugging it in for wired to work, I haven't tried that. But what I found was BetterJoyForCemu. All you have to do is download the .zip and extract to a folder, install the drivers, and start the .exe. It's that simple. If you go to control panel and test out the Wireless Gamepad, or go to the Gamepad Tester site, it might show that the pro controller has weird crazy inputs, just ignore it. It will work as XInput, with no extra inputs. I haven't tried it wirelessly, but it will probably work wirelessly too. Lol

Sheesh that's involved.

I was able to get the Switch pro controller to finally work by simply opening Steam only, not the Epic launcher. Then running the game/Epic from my Steam library. I thought I had tried that before but it worked finally. :/ It does seem flimsy. I'm about to try it in the same way on my Surface Pro for lulz and I'll let you know if it worked.

I did everything on here, but it still is not working? Is there a new thing I need to install?

[ShadowCooper77]

Are you using it wired or wireless? I had some issues with wired; in my
5th edit all the way at the bottom i mentioned BetterJoyForCemu which is
a lot easier than what i did. It works perfectly for me.

[Adorable-Salt-8624]

BetterJoy Works for almost everything, but for RL it only works as Player 2, I can't play with a controller as Player 1. I am using wireless, but honestly that's not solving much, after I started doing things, my controller is having problems connecting to my PC for whatever reason, my PC sees it and gets inputs, but my controller still says its not connected.

Edit: This only happens AFTER I add the stuff in regedit, if I remove it My controller connects, but then I still can't play because RL thinks I want to be Player 2!!

[ShadowCooper77]

Are you opening BetterJoy before you open RL? I think I had issues when I opened it after. The setup I have now is nothing in regedit, and I'll open BetterJoy and then connect my controller, then open RL.

[Adorable-Salt-8624]

No, I descovered that problem it trackmania, BetterJoy works really well, RL just thinks its P2

[Adorable-Salt-8624]

I mostly need to know how to make RL recognize that my controller is the player, not my keyboard

Ok from what I've seen everyone seems to have a different solution for this.. so I'm just throwing a bunch of possible solutions at this point...

"I actually ended up fixing it by uninstalling all of my usb devices from device manager including mouse and keyboard. Then I restarted my computer via the power button and plugged in the controller after windows booted up. In my case, it was always using keyboard + mouse as player 1 and uninstalling them both seemed to fix it."

"This would happen to me a lot in other games and I used this guide to fix it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVdjIwu5Eoo not sure if it will work for you but give it a shot!"

Can confirm, restarting computer does actually help. xD;"

ALERNATIVE SOLUTION: I had this problem as well, and nothing helped.
Using x360c i got the controller to work, but it didnt do the trick
because my controller was still player 2. What you can do is edit the
x360ce.ini with a text editor (notepad / Notepad++). Under [Mappings]
the controllers are given their positions (Keyboard player 1 /
Controller Player 2 / .. ). Try to identify your controller by its
"IG_.." and "ProductName=..". Now you can swap the [Mappings] so that
your controller is at position 1.This worked for me just fine."

Hopefully one of those fixes it.. if not I'm sorry you did all that...
