So I picked up a PowerA Zelda BOTW Controller for about $24 USD before Christmas and intend to use it for gaming/emulation.
Straight out of the box it's beautiful. Yes I know, it is for a Nintendo Switch. It's USB.
I cannot for the life of me find a PC driver for it. Yes, I've google'd. To my surprise not much showed up about these.
Getting into some options I find several things:
USB Input Device: Driver version 6.1.7601.18199
No option to update driver.
Hardware ID
USB\VID_20D6&PID_A711&REV_0200
It says it doesn't need a driver or that one has not been installed.
Any other USB gamepad I have either has included a disk or needed a driver to operate properly.
This BOTW edition doesn't have one (or does but doesn't work with 99% of games)
Anyone have any type of solution to this?
Unofficial driver?
I've tried joytokey and xpadder and yeah I can remap them but it's not the same.
I can't exactly get the games to understand that it is just a normal controller
Should I just return it? XD
EDIT: 1k+ Views, nice. Just an update. I returned this garbage and bought a different controller. I do not recommend buying this controller.
