JoyCon-Driver

A vJoy feeder / Driver for the Nintendo Switch JoyCons and Pro Controller on Windows with analog stick support and motion controls

How to use

1. Install vJoy, here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vjoystick/

2. Setup your vJoy Devices to look like this (search for configure vJoy in Windows search):

   • 
   • Add a device for every controller you have, so if you have 4 JoyCons and 1 Pro Controller, enable 5 devices

3. Pair the JoyCon(s) / Pro Controller(s) to your PC

4. Run the Application, if it doesn't detect your JoyCon(s) / Pro Controller, make sure they are fully paired / connected and restart the program.

   • For the latest features and updates, just click check for updates, updating is (mostly) automatic

5. Once the program is running vJoy should register the input from the JoyCon(s) / Pro Controller.

   • To verify it's working you can use the vJoy monitor that comes with vJoy, it should look something like this: http://i.imgur.com/x4Fn7Cq.png
   • To re-pair the JoyCon(s) / Pro Controller go into Settings and remove them and then pair them again.
   • You'll likely want to use this with something like x360ce (http://www.x360ce.com), which will let you map the vJoy device to a virtual xbox controller for games that support them.

   • 

Settings and features (some settings are only in the config file!)

• Combine JoyCons
  • Combines a pair of JoyCons into a single vJoy device
• Reverse Stick X/Y
  • Reverses the X/Y direction(s) for both sticks
• Gyro Controls
  • Enables controlling the mouse with a JoyCon like a WiiMote
• Prefer Left JoyCon
  • By default, the right JoyCon is used (if found), this forces the program to use the left JoyCon (if found)
• Gyro Controls Sensitivity X/Y
  • Controls the sensitivity -> higher = more sensitive
  • The X sensitivity also controls the gyro sensitivity for Rz/sl0/sl1 in vJoy
• Gyroscope Combo Code
  • A number that tells the program which button or set of buttons to use to toggle gyro controls
  • To figure out what number to put in the config, look at the Gyro Combo Code when you press your desired keycombo
• Quick Toggle Gyro
  • Changes the behavior of the Gyro toggle from a standard switch, to a "always off unless keycombo is pressed" mode
• Invert Quick Toggle
  • Changes the behavior of the quick toggle from always off unless keycombo is pressed to always on unless keycombo is pressed
• Gyro Window
  • Opens up a visualizer for the JoyCon's gyroscope
• Dolphin Mode
  • Makes it so that the Rz/sl0/sl1 sliders in vJoy don't reset back to 0 when the JoyCon stops moving
• Mario Theme
  • Plays the Mario theme on the first connected JoyCon at startup
• Debug Mode
  • Prints debug info to the console
• Write Debug to File
  • Writes the debug info to a file
• Force Poll Update
  • Don't use this, probably
• Broadcast mode
  • Don't use this, probably

Important Notes

• The JoyCons need to be re-paired anytime after they've reconnected to the switch
