These controllers were all working on SteamOS before as far as I know, so I'm interested to see what this changes. My understanding is that previously their controllers just show up as generic xbox controllers, and now they will be properly recognized. We'll see if this has any other benefits like custom bindings for back buttons and things like that.
Ah, I'm not sure how well that'd work via yuzu and ryujinx forks. Perhaps if the executable is added through the steam client so you could delegate the functionality via steam input? Sounds messy as heck though.
Life finds a way. Believe I played botw just this way on Linux, even launching another app to enable gyro controls to translate into the steam inputs. Different controller, think with yuzu launched through steam.
good to know it can work!
That's wild, I was just talking about using it with my actual old switch. I've got the Pro 2 (the one on the left) and it pairs between the switch and my computer pretty seamlessly. I'm so much more basic than I thought, reading these replies!
