  • 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?
    2 projects | /r/macgaming | 6 May 2021
    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.

    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

    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.
