Is There A Joycon Tool Kit For Mac

It’s why there’s nothing else like a Mac. MacOS is the operating system that powers every Mac. It lets you do things you simply can’t with other computers. That’s because it’s designed specifically for the hardware it runs on — and vice versa. MacOS comes with an entire suite of beautifully designed apps. I like to get everyone the right info and I like to help others get the most from there electronic devices. I enjoy playful cleverness and the exploration of technology. My Motto: You own it, you can do whatever you want with it. Ordered shells from Basstop on Amazon. Put them on last night and it was incredibly frustrating. Taking apart the joycon itself was simple. I've taken apart plenty of controllers and arcade sticks over the years, and there's nothing too crazy to deal with in the joycon.

A vJoy feeder / Driver for the Nintendo Switch JoyCons and Pro Controller on Windows with analog stick support and motion controls

How to use

1. Install vJoy, here: http://vjoystick.sourceforge.net/site/

2. Setup your vJoy Devices to look like this (search for configure vJoy in Windows search):

   • Add a device for every controller you have, so if you have 4 JoyCons and 1 Pro Controller, enable 5 devices

3. Pair the JoyCon(s) / Pro Controller(s) to your PC

4. Run the Application, if it doesn't detect your JoyCon(s) / Pro Controller, make sure they are fully paired / connected and restart the program.

   • For the latest features and updates, just click check for updates, updating is (mostly) automatic

5. Once the program is running vJoy should register the input from the JoyCon(s) / Pro Controller.

   • To verify it's working you can use the vJoy monitor that comes with vJoy, it should look something like this: http://i.imgur.com/x4Fn7Cq.png
   • To re-pair the JoyCon(s) / Pro Controller go into Settings and remove them and then pair them again.
   • You'll likely want to use this with something like x360ce (http://www.x360ce.com), which will let you map the vJoy device to a virtual xbox controller for games that support them.

6. Here's a screenshot of the actual program:

Settings and features (some settings are only in the config file!)

• Combine JoyCons
  • Combines a pair of JoyCons into a single vJoy device
• Reverse Stick X/Y
  • Reverses the X/Y direction(s) for both sticks
• Gyro Controls
  • Enables controlling the mouse with a JoyCon like a WiiMote
• Prefer Left JoyCon
  • By default, the right JoyCon is used (if found), this forces the program to use the left JoyCon (if found)
• Gyro Controls Sensitivity X/Y
  • Controls the sensitivity -> higher = more sensitive
  • The X sensitivity also controls the gyro sensitivity for Rz/sl0/sl1 in vJoy
• Gyroscope Combo Code
  • A number that tells the program which button or set of buttons to use to toggle gyro controls
  • To figure out what number to put in the config, look at the Gyro Combo Code when you press your desired keycombo
• Quick Toggle Gyro
  • Changes the behavior of the Gyro toggle from a standard switch, to a 'always off unless keycombo is pressed' mode
• Invert Quick Toggle
  • Changes the behavior of the quick toggle from always off unless keycombo is pressed to always on unless keycombo is pressed
• Gyro Window
  • Opens up a visualizer for the JoyCon's gyroscope
• Dolphin Mode
  • Makes it so that the Rz/sl0/sl1 sliders in vJoy don't reset back to 0 when the JoyCon stops moving
• Mario Theme
  • Plays the Mario theme on the first connected JoyCon at startup
• Debug Mode
  • Prints debug info to the console
• Write Debug to File
  • Writes the debug info to a file
• Force Poll Update
  • Don't use this, probably
• Broadcast mode
  • Don't use this, probably

Important Notes

• The JoyCons need to be re-paired anytime after they've reconnected to the switch
