EDIT (CFWless solution):
I was able to control the Switch via keyboard using Joycon Droid (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rdapps.gamepad, Android 9 needed) + scrpy (https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy)


EDIT2 (SOLUTION): https://gbatemp.net/threads/nxcontr...lay-switch-games-windows-mac-os-linux.557388/


I would like to know if there is a way to control Switch using PC without buying Cronusmax + Magic NS/Brook PS3 to Wii U as showed in these 2 videos:

It works great and not phone root needed!

What are the two things they bought? Why should someone, I didn't, watch the video to find out when you can simply just say it.

I'd like to use it in Pokemon SwSh. Can i use laptop keyboards to control the Switch?
I read the thumbnail of the 2nd video, that software I mentioned is to use any controller I believe and I'm not sure about it regarding keyboard or mouse, but you can use third party controllers though.

This is sooo Sick! If this video gets 100 likes I'll personally add every Pokemon back into Sword and Shield !"

He's got 59 likes.
I wonder if he means he'll distribute the encounter table if he gets 100 likes?

It doesn't work with last update...I saw sys-con is updated instead. But how can i send command from PC? Can i use Xoutput or something like it?
hid-mitm has a sample script, input_pc.py, that shows you how to do it.

As far as I know it should work, but if it doesn't work there's a good chance it will if you enable Atmosphere's enable_deprecated_hid_mitm option. Or recompile it with the latest libnx libraries.

If all else fails, consider running a downgraded emunand.

enable_deprecated_hid_mitm = u8!0x1

correct?
