dkms-hid-nintendo VS sc-controller

I'm having a similar issue on Fedora, I only got it working over bluetooth with joycond but then you lose gyro functionality, and joycond takes a bit of effort to uninstall. I also ended up installing dkms-hid-nintendo to no avail.

git clone https://github.com/nicman23/dkms-hid-nintendo cd dkms-hid-nintendo sudo dkms add . sudo dkms build nintendo -v 3.2 sudo dkms install nintendo -v 3.2

It's litterally a quote from the person who made the pull request. There are quote marks around it.

You might have to install https://github.com/nicman23/dkms-hid-nintendo

I'm in 5.17 (Fedora 36) and it doesn't work for me in switch mode anymore. It used to work fine using this, but 5.16 and 5.17 should have that integrated, no?

I am following this tutorial: https://joaorb64.github.io/2020/04/08/using-nintendo-switch-controllers-on-linux.html to attempt to install the drivers, which in turn links to this GitHub page in order to install the necessary driver: https://github.com/nicman23/dkms-hid-nintendo. I have followed all the commands listed in the readme up until this one:

Driver: dkms-hid-nintendo

i think yuzu has a custom handler for the switch controller. the nintendo-hid driver is finally coming in kernel 5.16, so you'll probably get it in january in fedora. in the meanwhile you could try this https://github.com/nicman23/dkms-hid-nintendo

https://github.com/kozec/sc-controller has been my best friend in getting controllers working properly

I haven't figure out how to intall sc-controller on latest fedora. I reported a bug on the github but I wanted to ask in this subreddit too, just in case anyone here has a solution.

third - sc controller

you appear to be missing some dependencies. Make sure that you have all of the build dependencies installed to build this program. They are listed here.

So with drivers it's easy to give gryo data to Linux, and Linux to expose it to games, but games don't always know what to do with it. The current workaround has always been a tool like Steam Input, or the open source sc-controller, that takes the gyro data, combines it with the old school gamepad data, and emulates an Xbox 360 controller with it.

The only thing I can think of, left to try is: https://github.com/kozec/sc-controller

But in the end I ended up buying PS4 pad. * A big selling point for me was that it has gyro. You can set it up as mouse input (in Steam controller settings for the game or something like sc-controller. I'm sure there is something similar for Windows too) and that way use for precise movements * The mouse pad in the middle is nice too * I'm not sure if these measurements are still true after 4 years but it seems it has the lowest input lag when used via BT

I don't know about the state of Windows support, but for Linux users the fork at https://github.com/Ryochan7/sc-controller is preferable. Ported to Python 3 (upstream is still sitting on EOL'd Python 2 due to kozec preferring a C port) as well as some bugfixes. I use it for any non-Steam games (Epic, Uplay, Origin, GOG).

SC-Controller should fit your use-case.
