linux VS xone

The Nintendo Switch Pro controller has an open bug regarding it randomly disconnecting. I ran into it over Father’s Day trying to get all the kids and I in on a game of Streets of Rage 4.

I will post an issue on the hid_nintendo github later as it isn't already reported.

Do you expect that to be hard?

You can track the issue here.

Easy to install version using dkms https://github.com/nicman23/dkms-hid-nintendo The original code that is eventually going directly in the Linux kernel https://github.com/DanielOgorchock/linux

It wasn't upstreamed in 5.10 (see #18) but I created a lkm package (no need for dkms on opensuse) for hid_nintendo here: home:sp1rit/hid-nintendo

There is a way to make it work with this https://github.com/medusalix/xone There are tutorials in this subreddit. I’ve done it and it was noticeable better than Bluetooth IMHO.

For example, I have some old Xbox One controllers that don't have Bluetooth and an Xbox Wireless Adapter, I got them working with the xone driver.

I think you need this https://github.com/medusalix/xone

https://github.com/medusalix/xone This is where I got the files and instructions.

What you need is to install the Xbox One driver. You can find it under xone.
