Wii Remote and Wii U Pro Controller on PC
Many PC games only understand the Xbox controller. With OpenController open, the Wii Remote and Wii U Pro Controller show up in your games as an Xbox 360 controller with their own player number, and the original is hidden so the game doesn't see the same controller twice.

- 3Open your game and play. It sees an Xbox 360 controller.
Using Steam? Turn off Steam Input for PlayStation and Switch controllers in its settings, or Steam reads the controller too and the game may see the same button twice.
