Steam support for the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is now available.

The support comes from the Steam Client Beta, and is expected inside Steam’s official client release shortly. The support itself functions much like that for Xbox One and PS4 controllers, though the Switch Pro controller has options to swap A & B and X & Y buttons as Nintendo’s placed those in positions that a user mightn’t think ideal.

There you have it — are you keen to use your Nintendo Switch Pro Controller inside Steam? What’s your preferred controller of choice? Sound off in the comments area below.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
