- mikestew 2y agoI'm wondering if a wireless Xbox controller would work. It's what I use with Apple TV without issue. Button layout is close enough (runs to living room to compare Xbox controller to Switch Pro...), in fact they're basically identical. OTOH, I haven't tried the Switch Pro controller with anything else but a Switch, so maybe it can be made to work? (EDIT: just tried it: my Mac connects to the Switch Pro via BT, haven't actually tried it, 'cuz damned work is in the way.)
- haiku2077 2y agoIt would but the N64 controller's layout is unique and it's more intuitive to play games on the original controller.
- mikestew 2y agoThanks for the correction. Of course as someone without an N64, I went with "sure, that Dvorak keyboard will be recognized!" without checking if it's actually fit for purpose.
- haiku2077 2y ago8BitDo sells a kit to modify an original N64 controller into a wireless controller with a modern Hall effect joystick.
- Rychard 2y agoI use the N64 controller with my PC, it's available for purchase by anyone who subscribes to NSO. It connects via bluetooth (the USB connection is for charging only). https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/nintendo-64-controller/ https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/nintendo-64-contr...
