After trying fucking EVERYTHING, the Xbox installation thing was the solution. Thanks dude.

Ok so, my controller is connected to Bluetooth, its showing there, it's there, literally. But when I try to have it come up on steam, it's not showing. Like... at all. The day before it was working and everything, now when I was trying to play my game, it's not connecting on steam, it's on, the "Enable Steam Input for Switch Pro controllers" is on, I plugged it, didn't work, Steam is not picking up my controller at all!!!it's frustrating and I've tried everything and it's not working. Help please or I'm just gonna buy another controller and that's such a waste

one thing that was messing me up and I feel like an idiot for not thinking of it, was my switch was picking up my pro controller. I had a bill burr assembling an IKEA desk moment 😅

Thanks so much for this! Used to have so much trouble, this was a huge help.

Thanks for the video man! Great content. let me ask you this: If I use the "use nintento button layout" option, does games automatically reconfigure to match this button layout? Or I'd have to manually change ingame? Thanks!

My controller just does NOT want to work wireless. I've paired it with bluetooth, but when it connects to steam, it sometimes works for a few seconds and then there's crazy latency and then it just disconnects. And then I can't get it to connect again.

Didn’t realize I had to link to steam 😂 tyyyy

[EggShellEye]

How do we change the brightness of the Blue LED light around the Home Button?

We used to be able to change this with a slider and turn it on/off. But I can't find this menu anymore!

[Galaxy_Dreams]

Does anyone have a tutorial for Wired Switch Pro for Win 11? I don't have bluetooth at all on Desktop.

The problem a lot of us are having is that, when we turn off the controller, it won't reconnect when we turn it on again. The only way that works so far is to remove the controller from Windows and then set it up again. Bluetooth 4.0 dongles are what some have said work as are 5.4. I don't have either so I can't test that. Do you have any you can test!?

I dunno if this helps anyone else but what worked for me is removing my controller from bluetooth, then connecting it again (it was already connected the first time, but any attempts to get it connected again after it was recognized ended up not working, so I removed it as a recognizable bluetooth device and just paired it again afterward)

[PortlandRealEstateAgent]

The Bluetooth was the key for me. Thanks!

Hey, thanks for your perfectly understandable video !
However, a problem remain for me : i have a switch pro controller that i connected by bluetooth to my pc (i did the exact same setup than you to connect) and even if the controller is connected to the pc, the menu including "game rumble, "steam haptics" and "layout button" doesn't pop and the message "No controllers detected" is still here...
