Hardware PowerA Nintendo Switch controller (Zelda edition) on PC?

[Virdoo]

Hi,

Is it possible to use PowerA controller on PC? If yes, how?

I'm pretty sure it's plug and play on pc. I can test when I get home, I own that controller.

I've tried it and didn't worked as far as I noticed. Also how do you like it? I just got it today and tbh, i'm not really impressed... Like much more joycons

No one knows?

You take your xbox one controller plug it in and it works and the plus side is that it looks exactly the same as the switch controller so it will feel like your using your switch controller on pc !

I tried my Zelda controller a few weeks ago and I can confirm that so far it doesn't work on PC. Maybe someday someone will release a driver.

Mine works on Windows 10. I use to play Cemu emulator and some PC games but for the PC games you need x360ce or another xbox controller emulator to proper button mapping. You dont need drivers just plug and play.

Yeah, this might work. I will check it later

One more thing. There seems to be two versions of these controllers, one's that come with replaceable analog stick caps and ones without that feature. Not sure if that makes any difference but it's worth noting.

There aren't version without replacable caps for the switch

Both of my Power A switch controllers do not feature removable caps

I have that same controller and have not used it directly with the PC but with Steam Link and it works great. So my guess is that is should work without issues. Plug-n-Play.

I plugged the controller into my corporate PC. It shows up as a "Core Plus Wired Controller". Now I'm wondering why it's not showing on my Steam PC. Gonna do a hardware refresh in the device manager and see what I get.

It works 100% just leave steam open and it will recognize it as an Xbox 360 controller

I must be missing something :/ On my PC Windows will recognize the controller but Steam doesn't see it at all. I'll do some further digging after I play around with the Rainway beta later today!

Same issue. Solution: Return it for a refund and buy a controller that is compatible. PowerA will not release a Windows 7/8/10 driver. The email I received from them stated the reasoning as: "We did not intend on it being used for anything other than the switch. We do have other compatible controllers."
So... fk them. Get a refund. Shame too cause the controller (BotW) is epic.
