BetterJoy

If you're a Nintendo fan but still can't give up using your PC, then you've most likely crossed paths with many Nintendo emulators, one example being Cemu. Running such software on your computer doesn't always lead to the same original console experience.

BetterJoy aims to bring you much closer to that feeling by allowing users to connect a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, any Joycon, or Switch SNES gamepad to their PC for use with Cemu. It can also give users the opportunity to remap the keys for use with whatever other PC tasks they might have going on.

Before proceeding to deal with the application itself, make sure you have the controller driver installed. The app itself comes packed with all dependencies, so you'll just have to launch it. Pair your controller of choice via Bluetooth with your PC. Only after fulfilling these two prerequisites, will you actually be able to put the app to good use. If it does not detect your gamepads from the beginning, click on the Locate button under any of the four available slots. You can also manually add controllers if need be.

This is not a difficult-to-use application. It might be more difficult to understand how it does what it does, yes, but that is not a real concern to the average user. You can set the program to start in the System Tray. You can also set it up to scan for new controllers, all by itself. This will save you the hassle of manually adding your gamepads. Lastly, once the controllers have been added to the slot, one can also map the buttons on their particular selection. Doing so will basically tailor the controller experience to your own needs.

BetterJoy is a neat little application that will grow popular with Nintendo fans and general users, alike. It's very useful, and it works without a hitch. There are no driver issues or compatibility errors, which ultimately means you'll be spared from any headaches or frustration.
