Just tested this with an xbox one controller still works. I found It easier to remap the buttons on the Switch settings once connected compared to the PC software.

@ANDRY6147 2 жыл бұрын

Can you remap buttons of the xbox controller on the switch using this method? Does the remapping function still work?

@MaxDendy 2 жыл бұрын

Hey, yes, it works. Just tried it to be sure. I could remap A to A, B to B, Y to Y, X to X.

@510tuber 2 ай бұрын

I know he already answered, I just want to add that when you map the buttons, it changes the software within the controller itself, so no matter which adapter you use, like the brook wingman XE 2 or this one, the remapping should work.

the fact that i've had a bluetooth adapter this whole time and didn't even see that the switch docking station has usb ports!!! the cheap controller i've been using for the switch has started having some major stick drift and i was so sad i couldn't use my xbox one. i'll definitely be trying this later, you're a lifesaver! thank you so much!

@katanadesu Жыл бұрын

Thanks, just ordered it to use my Elite Series 2! Quick question though; on the switch pro controller, the A and B buttons are swapped. So will the A button on the Xbox controllers be mapped to B, or will A just map to the A button? Also the quality of your videos are top, keep it up, you deserve more subs!

@MaxDendy Жыл бұрын

Just saw your comment. The layout will be the same as a Nintendo controller. So, A on a xbox controller will be B in your game.

Can you connect multiple (2) controllers the same way on a single Switch?

@JRTO_ 2 жыл бұрын

I'm guessing how it works is the connector on the switch end believes that the device connected is a pro controller, while the xbox controller side makes the controllers believe that the device they are connected to is an xbox. Considering there is only one physical connection it could only count as one, but technically speaking an xbox can connect to two controllers at once so aside from possibly the console determining that there is only one device connected, there should be no issue with connecting two. If you purchase two ports and connect them both separately, there definitely should not be an issue, however that does obviously require purchasing two ports which can be expensive, and you can only use this method attached to the dock or something similar.

@MaxDendy 2 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately no. One adapter - one Xbox/ps controller.
