Using Switch Pro controller with Epic Games + DLC
I use BetterJoy when playing non-Steam games that don't natively support the Switch Pro controller. Works on other EGS games like Kingdom Hearts 3 and Hitman 3, so it might work with Outer Wilds too.

How do controls work when emulating switch games like BOTW or TOTK?
to add to this, if you have a bluetooth adapter and have a switch pro controller, you can also use gyro by using a program called Betterjoy.

TIL you can combo GlosSI and RemotePlayWhatever to use Steam's Remote Play Together with Xbox PC Game Pass games
Or... You can use https://github.com/Ryochan7/DS4Windows for Sony and https://github.com/Davidobot/BetterJoy for Nintendo and https://github.com/parsec-cloud to do the very same thing without piggybacking on Steam at all, provided that it's also same to convince your friends to use your apps or my apps.

I cant get my 8BitDo Ultimate controller to work.
I'm having a similar issue on Fedora, I only got it working over bluetooth with joycond but then you lose gyro functionality, and joycond takes a bit of effort to uninstall. I also ended up installing dkms-hid-nintendo to no avail.
