RedHoodRobin64 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 So 2 days ago I found a really good deal at Walmart where the power a enhanced wireless switch controllers were 25 rather then 50. I happen to buy three of them and found that they work exactly like the switch pro controller. Now here is the problem. In order to use them in big box, You have to switch off the steam switch controller toggle in order to play non steam games. That's fine, If I am in big box and go from playing the 64 to steam, I have to close out of big box and toggle the steam switch controller support back on. Is there a way to have it so when you open a steam game through big box, it can toggle it on then when closing the game it will toggle it back off? It would make life so much easier and wouldn't disturb the flow of big box so much. I am sure there is a script you can write but that is way above my pay grade. This would be incredibly helpful, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHoodRobin64 Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 So update on this situation. I found a strange workaround for these controllers switching from non steam to steam games. I actually deleted all my steam games from big box and created a app section instead. Steam is one of the apps and I have it launch into Big Picture mode. This allows you to use your controller to navigate to the settings and turn on and off the switch pro controller support. So this is how I will do it unless someone has some kind of idea as to write a script or command to check or uncheck the switch pro controller support on start up and exit. Hope this helps anyone going through the same issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHoodRobin64 Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 So problem solved. Really amazing controllers. Some how they function correctly with the steam configuration checked on. On my normal switch pro I would always have to un check the steam switch pro controller support. For some reason with these wireless controllers from walmart, they actually work weather thats ticked or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHoodRobin64 Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Ok so i figured out I fixed the problem with out realizing. apparently if you run steam with out big picture mode it goes back to issues with non steam games. but if you run it in big picture mode then exit, your controller will work as intended. Very odd but great to know for any one using switch pro controllers or the power a branded ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
