Hardware Can I use a PS3 or Xbox 360 controller with a jailbroken Nintendo Switch without an usb adapter?

[Tomtani1]

I read online that I need to have an usb adapter such as the 8bitdo. Is there a way without having to use an usb adapter?

Not that I know of as far as I know you will need the 8bitdo adapter but they are $20 so not all to bad in price and worth having since it works with about any game system and computer, also you don't jailbreak a switch you hack it jailbreak is an apple/iphone,ipad thing.

You can, as long as you're running Atmosphere:

I just read about Mission Control software. I will look into it.

Side question is it going to rumble or not... if it isn't going to rumble (IMO it's kinda no point)

The Mission Control software does not work for the PS3 nor Xbox 360 controllers.

I will look into another software called Cathery.

It will never work for 360 because they aren't Bluetooth and for ps3 u have to give the controller the Mac bluetooth address

The 360 uses rf, radio frequencies.

I am going to test the Cathery software. It requires the PS3 or Xbox 360 controller to be connected to the Nintendo Switch by a USB cable while docked.

The developer of Cathery sys-con-0.6.3 just updated the software to version 0.6.3 on 4-12-2001. Cathery worked perfectly on my Nintendo Switch running 12.0.1 with the latest version of Atmosphere. I connected my PS3 Controller (DS3) using a usb cable and it worked perfectly. I also tested the Xbox 360 controller and Cathery also worked perfectly using the usb cable. The developer did an excellent job. I highly recommend Cathery sys-con-0.6.3. The controllers must be connected using a USB cable (wired connection). I don't mind using a wired connection. Previously I tried the cheap $25 Power A wired Switch controller and was not happy at all. This is a much better solution using the DS3 or Xbox 360 controller.

As state isn't possible without tou run CFW or buy a hardware adapter (Bluetooth or USB ones)

What controller did I find in my room then, because its wireless (but looks to have a hole for a plug on the front) & says its xbox 360 (& its an official Xbox 360 controller) & has a small button at the rear with a wireless signal symbol looks exactly like this: ))) & I'm not sure if that icon is common or not?

Thanks

It's a wireless RF controller. You can buy one of those generic adapters for wireless 360 controllers for PC & use it on a hacked Nintendo Switch via mission control homebrew.
