alpha2 has been released here fixing some issues with the first alpha. Now including much easier installation! See the release page for changes.
ProconXInput lets you use a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller as an XInput (X360-like) controller via USB cable. It should support all things a normal XInput controller would, except rumble, and all mappings are 1:1 except the Procon's Share button does nothing. I've only used it to play Dolphin some for hours, but I think it's ready for testing in the wild.
It's largely based upon the work of ShinyQuagsire to probe how the Procon works via USB HID. All I did was package it up into a Windows app that pipes the controller status to XInput.
To get it working, you'll need to jump through a few hoops. At the bare minimum you'll need to install ScpVBus, part of the ScpToolkit, (So you already have it if you installed it for DS3 on Windows support) and you'll need to get XOutput1_1.dll, also from ScpToolkit. Details are on the release page and README of the repo.
Microsoft Controller Driver Windows 10
Please test it out and give me some feedback. It should theoretically work for Windows Vista/7/8/10, but I repeat that it has NOT been extensively tested and might not behave in some configurations.
Future plans involve support for bluetooth connected Procons, Joycons, and possibly USB connected Joycon Charging Grips.

Switch Pro Controller Windows 10
Hi all,
My Gamepad I got from Xerox 2 years ago died so I was looking at controller I could use.
I found out that you can use the Switch Pro Controller on steam which I wish I knew ages ago but oh well.
I'm connecting it to my PC via the USB C on the controller to the USB C port on my x370 MSI board using a 2 meter usb c to usb c cable from Anker.
The light shows that it is charging but nothing can be found using steams controller configuration tool or in windows device manager so I assume it's only charging?
I'm running Steams Beta build.
I've also tried using multiple USB 3/3.1 type A to C cables and the charging light wont even show with those.
Anyone have experience with this? Could it be that I need a specific Nintendo type c cable?
Note: I don't want to goto bluetooth for latency reasons.
