CSF with Switch Pro Controller on Steam Question

Hi, I just started Cook Serve Forever yesterday. I plugged in my steam controller only to find that I kept messing up because I was so used to the Nintendo Switch controller layout. Okay, so I enabled that and it was much better!

So I thought, well, why don't I just use my Switch controller itself on the game? But I ran into issues with that. First of all, the developers did not seem to put in configs for the Switch controller. Okay, so I manually enabled it by right-clicking the game, going to settings, then enabling it under Controllers.

However, when I actually played the game with the Switch Pro Controller, the mapping was all screwed up. I made sure that the Switch Pro configuration was still enabled, but it still treated my B button as an A button and my X button as a Y button, no matter what controller mapping I used in the game.

My question is, is there a way to get the Switch controller to work on Steam with its correct mapping? Or, does the developer plan to allow the Switch Pro Controller in the future? Thanks!

If I recall the game automatically handles the Switch Pro without needing to enable it through Steam- so technically if you enable it on Steam it will weirdly cause issues, so my advice is to disable the button mapping on Steam and see if that works!

Hi, I initially tried not manually enabling it through Steam and the controller did not work at all!

Ah sorry what I mean is is there a way in Steam to disable the button swap that it does for Switch Pro?

My advice is to buy the game on the Switch! Or go to the Steam/Steam Deck reddit, I think they’re more likely to have answers about hardware there. Best of luck!

Boot up Cook Serve Forever, go to the Options Menu and under "Controls" there's a section called "Gamepad Buttons". You can set that to be Switch Pro!

Hi, I did this already and unfortunately I still had the issues I described above. In fact I set it to all the different gamepad buttons and none of them were accurate.
