Homebrew Homebrew app Project key2con - Keyboard and Mouse as Virtual Controller

[Redson_BW]

Hi everyone!

I've recently been studying programming, and I became interested in homebrew development after getting access to Switch CFW.
I've seen people on forums and Reddit looking for a way to play Nintendo Switch games using a keyboard and mouse. While there are already ways to do this, they often involve workarounds such as using a PC as a host or other extra setup.

So, I decided to create this project to make it possible to use a keyboard and mouse directly with the Nintendo Switch.
I'm happy to say that I'm releasing my first Nintendo Switch CFW project!

key2con

Features

* Play any Switch game with a USB keyboard and mouse
* Map any KB&M key/button to gamepad buttons or sticks using the key2con Homebrew
* Experimental gyro/R-stick-as-mouse support

Planned Features

* Link a keyboard or mouse to an independent virtual gamepad (e.g. Keyboard 2 = Virtual Pro Controller 2)
* An overlay cursor that can be moved on the Switch screen and used to simulate touchscreen input
* Bluetooth KB&M support (It probably won't happen.)

NRO Inputs
* Up Arrow: move up
* Down Arrow: move down
* Enter: select
* Escape: return
* Delete: lower mouse sensitivity/remove the last mapped key

More information and download are available on the GitHub page!

Nice work, been looking for something like this for heavy fighting games.
Could you add presets (profiles) for mapping? interface for mapping, and mouse movements as L or R stick?
I'm Looking forward for future updates. cheers!

Your release doesn't have the NRO lol

Thank you very much

I forgot to add the NRO to the release, LOL. I just released a new version, and now it supports the left stick(and right stick) as well! And of course, I’ll add per-game mapping profiles in the future! Possibly very soon

Could you tell me which console firmware and Atmosphere version you are using? That would help me
