Use JoyCons without third-party software
Have you tried to use XJoy

Is there a way to use Joy-Cons as a combined controller?
I tried with mine, but there's a very noticeable lag if you connect both joycons at the same time, this lag however is not present on this app called xjoy https://github.com/sam0x17/XJoy/releases/tag/v0.1.8, but only on version 0.1.8 and lower, the newest version available also has the same problem as the betterjoy app

Joy Cons as Xbox controllers on macOS?
It is quite cumbersome however to put the mappings in for each game, and I was wondering if anyone has made or come across something like XJoy, which makes Windows think a Joy Con is an Xbox controller. Since macOS has xbox controller (and DualShock 4/DualSense) support, I thought it perhaps could be possible.

Best Switch Controller
You can rig the JoyCons to work on the PC, but it's a PITA because they get recognized by windows as separate controllers. So you have to install a special driver to make them work together. I had a lot of trouble configuring the top Google result that everyone recommends because it relies on a second project that is very finicky in my experience. I thought I was out of luck until I found this: https://github.com/sam0x17/XJoy

Weekend mode with my WFH setup.
It needs an extra tweak. Here: https://github.com/sam0x17/XJoy This will make your joy-con to be an Xbox controller. It has a small bug, though.

Home-row mods - will I get used to it?
I had trouble with HMR as well at the beginning, but since switching to sunaku's fork/PR I've almost eliminated all the issues I had with it. And worth mentioning is urob's timeless HMR config from which I think the fork/PR takes some of its inspiration.

𝑥MK: Use programmable keyboard firmware with any keyboard.
I have a separate system for that as part of this old unreleased project. They're orthogonal so could be used together, but it'd be nicer if they were integrated. If you just want to remap buttons or map buttons to keys you can do that in the OS.

BATTLESHIP ERGO(but dumb?)
Well, things like Bilateral Combinations are aware of which hand is using the modifier to only apply it to the other side's presses & minimise accidental triggering on same-hand rolls.
