With the Nintendo Switch 3.0 update, the system now has support for wired controller input. While there are officially no controllers yet on the market that are marketed as compatible I have found that the Hori Pokkén Tournament Battle Pad is compatible with the system.
I have also tested the following controllers and can confirm that they do not work
Do with this information as you will. Hopefully this can come in handy

Forgot to add, the GameCube adapter for Wii U does not work

Can you run the Switch pro controller through the USB port yet?
Matthew Moore
Sorry to break it to you, but I actually enjoy video games.

Gabriel Diaz
oh yeah and where are the videogames eggman?
David Diaz
Fuck me.
Leo Hall
Yes
Asher Morris
So this means I could use a PS2 controller for Fire Emblem Warriors, instead of struggling with the Joycon?
I did not like using the Wii U controller for Hyrule Warriors at all. It was just too big.
Michael Murphy
Cool, so I guess it wasn't a built in limitation, the update hasn't hit my country and your image is upside down, not a hemisphere issue.
Ryan Williams
Your pic suggests otherwise.
Jace Kelly
so no Smash for switch
Jeremiah Jenkins
No, I stated in the OP I tested the PS2 controller and it did not work
John Bell
Must be because I am posting from my phone, thanks for letting me know.
Jason Hughes
Oh, silly me.
Cooper Cook
They'll probably port it at some point so Smash 4 can stay relevant at EVO.
Owen Long
2nd game from the right and straight on to Smash 5. I don't really know how that's going to work though, because Samurai is still working on another unannounced game.
Andrew Sanchez
what does it work with
Carter Carter
F-ZERO

Nathaniel White
He brought a mecha figma and said it was part of his research for the game.
Wyatt Garcia
So it's an F-Zero game but it's the open world bounty hunter Captain Falcon game we've always wanted and the Blue Falcon is a transformer that changes between racing car and fighting robot. Fucking sweet.
Hunter Taylor
I have two theories as to how the Nintendo Switch may handle the wired inputs based upon my findings.
The first is that the Switch has an index of controller IDs that it will accept as a pro controller for input, with the Pokkén controller being one of those as the game is slated for a Switch release.
The second is that it accepts generic controllers for its input but requires them to meet a specific specification which is why the Playstation controllers, gamecube adapter, and fightstick I tried did not work.
if I am correct with the first one, it in theory should make it easy for modders to create controller adapters for the switch which would basically just have to be a controller passthrough which spoofs the system into seeing a different controller ID.
The second theory would mean that the exact spec needs for the controllers to run on the system would have to be reverse engineered before being able to use any controller of your choice.
Jaxon Price
Well I have tested this controller and have found that it works with
And has partial support for
Easton Cox
What the fuck, that's a leap in logic, there is no new F-Zero coming, there's a higher likliness of a new Golden Sun coming than a new F-Zero.
I'd say the second one sounds more likely.
Anthony Ross
i meant shit on the switch itself, I know it works on PC, loonix but i didn't know it worked on ps3, thanks for the info. I feel there's need to be some kind of controller database or wiki
Cooper Roberts
Any game with pro controller support that does not require analog input it will work with. I played a race in Mario Kart 8 with it.
Elijah Miller
Hey that's pretty good, I'm assuming arms is crossed off and hopefully I can use the controller for kirby in the future. Does the dock have multiple ports? can it handle more controllers?
Ayden Bailey
The dock has 2 external ports.
Anthony Gomez
There are 3 USB ports on the dock, in theory there should be nothing stopping you from using a USB hub and taking advantage of more wired controllers
Cooper Brown
Does the wiiu pro controller work?
Luis Baker
I would try it if I had one. If another user can figure this out please post your result here.
Luis Richardson
I hope so, the switch pro controller looks uncomfortable unlike the wiiu one.
Joshua Clark
I don't think it will because it only charges via the usb. It does not have any data pass through it.
Landon James
I thought so too but it pretty soon became my most favourite controller ever. Even the lack of analogue triggers and the uneven analogue sticks don't bother me. It's comfy as fuck.
Robert Cruz
What's the chance of a new Startropics?
Oliver Richardson
Hmm, I recall a third party who had worked or was working with Nintendo expressing interest in a new one.
Less than F-Zero I will see if I can find that statement and find out who the developer was.
Jeremiah Peterson
CUSTOM ROBO
Charles Jenkins
Can companies not sneakily add drivers that make controllers from other systems work? Is that against the law?
Ayden Martinez
In other news, multiple vulns were patched with this update so update to prevent yourself from possibly pirating anything when such an option becomes available.
Charles Cook
Nobody can ever patch everything
Nathan Ortiz
Great thread OP, did you know that the Third Age mod for Medieval 2 TW was just updated? It add one more faction, the Kuzhan which are pretty much Fantasy Finnish. They're mostly focused on Skirmishing and light units so be sure to use hit and run tactics and plenty of ranged.
Enjoy your censored games you'll still hype up because you currently have none
Jeremiah Rodriguez
Pick one
Hudson Hernandez
The guy above you set a great example with actually being original and funny with his joke. Your's stopped being funny around 2010.
James White
No really what games? They're all shit.
Leo Morris
And reported for consolefaggotry. Shill harder.
Jeremiah Butler
I'm asking a question about video games here user. I bet the report was dismissed like I am with your lack of anything substantial to say.
Evan Nguyen
Where's the Switch dog porn at?
Dylan Perry

Brandon Gray
Speak for yourself. I like F-Zero. I want an F-Zero game. Not an unrelated game starring Captain Falcon from the Smash Bros series.
Luis Davis
Post it
Oliver Hughes
I own a switch myself, but you sound so fucking butthurt holy shit. Get a fucking grip, you pants pissing manchild. If you can't handle the bantz, you should fuck right off to shittit, cuckchan or neofag.
Bentley Long
You enjoy videogames so much you buy a shitty gimmick console for casual and normalfags with physical dlcs. You are totally not pushing the industry into the wrong direction by supporting garbage hardware with shit software. Thanks for everything.
Ian Lewis
Why is she so perfect?
Nope, they can fuck you over as hard as they damn please. I don't know about adding drivers from another console, probably avoiding lawsuits or want you to buy THEIR products like a good gaijin.
Julian Morales
What are you talking about? Did something new develop, because when I checked gbatemp yesterday the PegaSwitch guys said that all their bugs still worked and that we should update
Samuel White
I love how smart people have gotten since the DSi days. Now they're waiting until that can pry it open enough to pirate. I'll buy a switch new when that happens. I'll wait around ~2 years for a revision though. Also. Nice Chihuahua Fuck your Fennek, it's a chihuahua.

Michael Taylor
are there wired switch compatible onaholes yet?
Jaxson Turner
lol
Jayden Gutierrez
You just described every console though, user.
Dominic Morales
You need to rethink your life user.
Gavin Perez
You just want to fuck Braixen via pokken, don't you?
Consoles post 2000's.
I'm a Nintenkiddie and I'm buttblasted too
Leo Cook
sure id take braixen for a spin but i was thinking more along the lines of purah
Nicholas Flores
From what I understand it's not that they necessarily add drivers to do that, but that they write their drivers to only accept hardware that advertises itself as belonging to the company. (That info is included in the standardized ID for USB/BlueTooth devices. The USB HID class, if you're interested) So essentially there is a whitelist.
Cheating that should be as "simple" as adding a middleman to convert a device's advertisement signal and input to appear as one on the whitelist. Unfortunately that adds some latency, but it should be negligible.
Fennecs came first
Cameron Howard
You wanna say that to my face, ESE?
Zachary Sullivan
Just found this on YouTube, apparently Mayflash released a firmware update that allows for the Gamecube controller to be used on the switch.
Aiden Butler

Blake Thomas
Finally, good controllers on a Nintendo console again.
Kayden Lopez
This will be very nice for GC virtual console, which I'm hoping is on its way.
I want to be able to play Wind Waker while I'm taking a shit like I thought I'd be able to with the Wii U.
Jackson Sanders
This is good to know; thanks.
Jayden Jenkins
Holy shit this is awesome
Eli Lopez
I love how everybody on Holla Forums uses handhelds exclusively when taking shits It's the one thing that unites us
Jace Watson
Wake me up when the Switch is easily soft moddable.
