Unable To Find Controller

[kayliekay]

ProconXInput was working perfectly fine, when out of nowhere after about two weeks of using it reliably, it crashed. I tried reopening it, and all it will say is: "initializing hidcerberus Unable to find controller"

I have tried numerous times to replug my controller, reinstall ProconXInput, and tried countless times trying to restart my computer. It just will not work anymore for seemingly no reason

I had the same issue, but then I looked at the switch-pro-x driver linked to in the readme that is part of the base for this one. This part is of importance: "ViGEm. You will need both the bus driver from the 1.8.1.0 release (1.10.0.0 is buggy) and the HidGuardian Driver + HidCerberus.Srv. Currently requires devcon.exe from the Windows SDK to install." I noticed that this version didn't include the bus driver. Once I right-clicked the inf for the bus driver linked to there and installed it, this driver is able to detect my pro controller just fine. Which is weird, since it claims to not require HidGuardian/HidCerberus, and I originally didn't have them installed, and it still couldn't detect my pro controller.

This is the repo for switch-pro-x: https://github.com/ToadKing/switch-pro-x And the link for ViGEm is further down on the page. Download the version mentioned, extract it, go into the drivers folder (x86/x64 depending on what architecture your Windows is running on), right-click ViGEmBus.inf and click install. After doing that, and running ProconXinput (which now recognizes my controller), my Switch Pro Controller is now recognized as a 360 controller in wired mode and works as expected. Let me know if it works for you as it did for me. Of course you still need SCPVBus. I already had it due to using XOutput in the past, but ran the install script that came with this anyway which did not help at all. Anyway, if you didn't already run the install script, even if you already have SCPVBus and the other things, do that first, since it'll install the specific versions that are confirmed to work with this program.

That being said, this doesn't really offer any benefits over wireless BT mode, except not needing BT support. I'll be trying switch-pro-x instead since it seems to support rumble. Aaaand.... switch-pro-x seemed to work after going through all the hurdles to compile it but once connected and detected by the program my Pro Controller was flashing the charging LED and input didn't work, nor did the LEDs at the front light up.

None of this helped the issue or I have done something wrong. Is it possible that somebody restates the necessary steps in order to solve this issue in a simpler manner? After downloading the switch pro x, I could not find the ViGEmBus.inf file.

Same here but it didn't work, ever. I don't even get a sound when I plug in the controller after installing the drivers through the .bat

Same issue after an entire year.
