Hey folks, anyone seeing this?

A couple of months ago, I was able to play a 4-player game of boomerang fu on the CT with two "wired" Xbox controllers (via magic ns2 dongles), and 2 joycons connected wirelessly.

Recently the joycon button mapping is all messed up, and certain buttons dont work at all.

See attached vid.

I had to guess through this yesterday. I clicked Home + A and it was wonky- Home +Y was my solution. You click a combo, pair, see if it works with correct buttons. If not, unpair, try Home + different button- repeat u til you find the right combo.

The action of Home+”one of four buttons “ turns on Bluetooth and sets the joycon configuration

Sorry I don't follow. What do you mean? Does this fix the mapping?

I had the same issue with Beach Buggy this week. It worked in January. I have a wired and a wireless controller, both cheap XBox types. They behave differently but both had issues and were unusable. I did see that one of them seemed to work with Sky Force Reloaded. Strange. I was looking for info and did find one or two note that PlayStation controllers worked when they couldn't use an Xbox controller.
What is everyone else using and do they still work?

From what I've read there can be different firmware on the Xbox Wireless controller and you if you used it on a Windows 11 PC via Bluetooth you may have a firmware that causes problems with the Cybertruck as Windows 11 will upgrade the controller firmware automaticly.

I couldn't get mine working with the CT but did limited testing.

Yes but it's the Nintendo switch joycons that are no longer working

For how sophisticated the vehicle is, it is rather frustrating how difficult it is to just play a game using controllers.
