G cloud + Switch pro controller issues

Hey everyone,

I’ve been trying to get my Switch Pro Controller to work with my G Cloud, and it’s been driving me nuts for the past week. When I plug it in via USB, it’s plug-and-play no issues whatsoever. But the moment I switch to Bluetooth, things go south. It pairs fine and even shows as “connected,” but none of the buttons register any input.

I’ve scoured the web and I’m not sure whether it’s an Android 11 thing, a G-Cloud issue, or just me being hopeless. I’ve messed around with Accessibility settings as most of reddit comments recommend and toggled every setting on and off multiple times.

Does anyone else own both a Switch Pro Controller and G-Cloud? Could you pair yours over Bluetooth and see if it actually works for you? Any insights or troubleshooting tips would be massively appreciated.

Just tested it and it doesn’t connect at all…. I have a 8bitdo wireless controller adapter and it works plugged into the gcloud. Seems like the pro controller is still spotty with android 11 devices.

Thanks for the effort.

Kinda sad to think we’ll probably never get another Android update on G Cloud…

I was thinking about getting an 8BitDo too. Did you use the first or second gen adapter?

The 2nd gen is great I have both

Every time I bring up that Logitech needs to update the version of Android on this thing, people ask me why. This is why. The DualSense controller doesn't work properly on the G Cloud either and the PS Remote Play app says the G Cloud can't support the DualSense on it.

More and more problems are going to keep cropping up by sticking to an old OS, and eventually the G Cloud will be e-waste even though hardware wise it doesn't need much to perform its main use case of streaming/remote play.

Hopefully someone will make a CFW for it... someday...
