Has anyone tried one of those Chinese knock offs that look exactly like a Wii U Pro controller but without the Wii U logo? I Have one but it's not recognized and doesn't show up in the btdb app.

hm... I'll try ;)

f.e. If I play Mario64 (3D Allstars) and I'm playing with the PS4 Controller in tabletop mode. If i get hit or something, the joycons mounted to the console are vibrating.

Didn't tried it in Dock by now (just updating some hb) but if you don't know the issue if the console is docked, it is possibly a "Tabletop-Issue"?

Then it is simply not compatible.
I've plenty of controller here, and none of them except of the PS4, WiiU & GameSir G3s are working
Didn't tried the WiiMote+NunChuck yet.

You could try logging the pairing process with this debug build and posting the results. I had another user with a PowerA WiiU Pro Controller that wasn't showing up either, even in the log. So it's not completely out of the realm of possibilities that there are some controllers that just aren't compatible with the Switch Bluetooth hardware.

Hmm interesting. I'll have to check it out myself once I get a copy of 3D Allstars. Do you notice it in any other games?

just tested:
Mario Kart 8, NSMB, Mario Odyssey and Zelda BotW are fine. I could test more, but atm I think it's an issue with 3D AllStars

me again.
tried it on 2 other switches, both 10.1.0 AMS 0.14.3: Same result

Then I thought it would be a good idea to update my NSW to 10.2.0 AMS 0.14.4.
It doesn't rumble anymore, but I have massiv input lags with all controllers if the switch is docked. In Tabletop everythings fine, but docked you can't even play Mario Bros or Mario Kart without a realy hard handicap.



--------Edit-----------
Just unpaired all controller and paired them again.
now its working fine on 10.2.0 AMS 0.14.4

Yeah I can confirm the vibration thing, even with MC disabled, so it's obviously the game doing it.

That's strange about the input lags. I don't know how unpairing the controllers would change anything

I don't know either...
The lag apeared the moment after I've updated to 10.2.0.
My first guess: I need to update AMS and I did. Lag was still there.

kicked all controllers and cleared the cache. Next reboot took a while.
followed by new pairing of the controller all lags are gone.

So now I'm on 10.2.0 AMS 0.14.4 and everything (except of emuiibo) works like it should.

Is it just me, or is MissionControl the reason that Hades keeps freezing before launching? I deleted MissionControl from my switch and the game launched after that.

Yep, same thing happens to me.
My setup is:
Firmware 10.2.0
Atmosphere v0.14.4
MissionControl v0.2.1

so I deleted MissionControl for the time being and will add it again when there's a new update.

Awesome, that would be excellent. I want to be able to use my switch as a word processor without having to run linux or android.
Not sure this would work like you are expecting. There are hints of the switch having support for mouse and keyboard functions but I don't know if they can be made to work. I would most likely map the two to a pro controller

Can you give any further info? Does this happen with any other games?

Anyone managed to make the HOME button from Ipega pads work as the Home function from Switch?
Which ipega pad do you have? I've been told some work and some don't. I think the way different pads map the home button might change

This happens with Hades too or some other game?

Maybe Fate/Extella Link too. I can't run that game with mission control. However I haven't tried without. Still on 0.1.0 release and AMS 14.2.

Edit: seems like a different error. Mine shows an error screen saying game cannpt be started.

Same setup as bbert, I had to delete MissionControl as well to get Hades working. It's the only game that I've tried with MissionControl installed that didn't launch.
