A Windows application that lets Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers, Joycons, and Switch SNES controllers work with emulators like Cemu, Citra, Dolphin, and Yuzu, as well as system-wide as generic XInput controllers. It also supports gyro-as-mouse control and remapping of special buttons.
Use cases
- use Switch Pro Controller with Cemu
- connect Joycons to Dolphin as XInput controllers
- use gyro motion controls in Yuzu via Cemuhook
- use Switch controllers with Steam as Xbox controllers
- map Joycon SL/SR buttons to keyboard keys
- use Joycon gyro to control the mouse
When to choose
- you want to use Nintendo Switch controllers on a Windows PC with emulators or any XInput game
- you need motion/gyro support via Cemuhook for Cemu, Citra, Dolphin, or Yuzu
- you want button remapping and gyro-as-mouse features
When to avoid
- you are on Linux or macOS rather than Windows
- you need a controller driver for non-Switch controllers
- you require actively developed software with frequent updates
