HID Remapper now lets you use the Steam Controller on the Switch, and the trackpad actually works

What’s new: HID Remapper now enables the use of the Steam Controller on the Nintendo Switch, including functionality for the trackpad. This open-source USB adapter allows for reprogramming and input translation across devices. However, the Switch blocks mouse input when a controller is connected, limiting the trackpad’s capabilities.

Who’s affected

Steam Controller users who want to utilize their controller on the Nintendo Switch will benefit from this update, particularly those interested in using the trackpad feature.

What to do

  • Download and set up the latest version of HID Remapper to enable Steam Controller compatibility with the Switch.
  • Explore the remapping features to customize your controller settings as needed.
  • Be aware that trackpad mouse functionality will not work while a controller is connected to the Switch.
