This Reddit thread also shares varied experiences, as some players have had limited success while others struggle to get much usable input out of the controller. Our own Jon Cartwright could get the controller recognised by his PC, but then had trouble getting button inputs to register. The N64 NSO controller doesn't seem to respond correctly in OpenEmu at the moment but it does work on other Mac emulators like sixtyforce so hopefully it's something that can be fixed /5D4J2odVz6- Akfamilyhome October 27, 2021 Some others have been digging around emulators and have discovered that it works with some, but not others. Has anyone gotten the n64 switch controller to work on devices outside of switch?
