Steam Adds Switch Pro Controller Support In Official Update

Valve's Steam Controller team has announced that the Switch's Pro Controller, a dual-analog controller with similar shape and arrangement to the Xbox One controller, is now officially supported on Steam.

Users who are a part of the Steam client beta can now set the controller up via Steam Input and start using it in games now. You can customize the controller on a per game basis and even set a toggle to make the games recognize the Nintendo layout which swaps A/B and X/Y.

You can create and edit setups as you see fit and share those profiles with other users, or borrow theirs if they have a better setup. Steam even supports the Pro Controller's motion control for games that take advantage of that.

Our Take
It's cool that this was clearly something they decided to work on and make work as well as possible. I wonder if Nintendo was made aware of it, but I'm happy I now have the option of an extra controller to use on PC.
