## What it is
A Windows application that feeds input from Nintendo Switch JoyCons and the Pro Controller into vJoy virtual gamepads, with analog stick support and gyro-based mouse control. It provides a GUI for pairing, combining JoyCon pairs, and configuring motion control settings.

## Use cases
- use JoyCons as PC game controllers
- play PC games with a Switch Pro Controller
- use JoyCon gyro as a WiiMote-style mouse
- combine a pair of JoyCons into one virtual controller
- map Switch controllers to a virtual Xbox controller via x360ce

## When to choose
- you want to use Nintendo Switch controllers on Windows games that lack native support
- you need gyro aiming or motion controls from a JoyCon on PC
- you want to combine split JoyCons into a single controller

## When to avoid
- you are on Linux or macOS
- you need native XInput output without vJoy
- you need actively maintained software with recent updates
