wired controller not working

[turbid heart]

Are you using an AMD system?

On Windows?

@humble copper ^

[humble copper]

Nah, just the dock

[turbid heart]

Have you tried another cable?

[quasi sinew]

Have you enabled Pro controller wired mode in Settings?

[humble copper]

@turbid heart @quasi sinew both options don’t work

I’d like to upgrade to a pro controller but no mone

[quasi sinew]

Have you gone through the pairing process recommended in the manual?

[humble copper]

It’s been a few years

It was working the day before I posted that so idfk

[quasi sinew]

I see. It may have met its expiration date ._.'

[humble copper]

:(

[quasi sinew]

Test it on a different device

[humble copper]

It can do that?

[quasi sinew]

Of course, try it on a PC

Steam should support it

[humble copper]

What games would it support, idk if gmod or tf2 will work with controller

It’s not an issue to me at all, I was just hoping for input to see if it could last a bit longer

[quasi sinew]

You dont need to use a game

Steam supports PowerA controller, so what you need to do is plug it in, open Steam and check the general controller settings on Steam

[humble copper]

Alright let me check that,

It’s working

Like surprisingly working really well

[weary crypt]

have you tried using the other USB port on the dock? (grasping at straws here)

[humble copper]

I did, not the one in the back however

[weary crypt]

have you tried using a different dock?

[humble copper]

I do not have a different dock

[weary crypt]

do you have a friend who has a dock?

[humble copper]

I’ve used the same switch and dock since it released

[humble copper]

No.

[quasi sinew]

@humble copper Do you happen to have a USB-C to USB-A cable, or something similar?

a USB-C hub for example

We just need a USB-C to USB-A interface so you can plug it directly into your Switch

[humble copper]

I’ve tried a other cable but the weird thing is the plug into the controller is shaped different so only it’s original can fit inside

[quasi sinew]

Yeah, unfortunately, it's like that. You can do something extra like modding the thing but it shouldn't need you to do that.

These manufacturer just lazily add a proprietary cable for no reason

[humble copper]

Ah

Ok
