dkms-hid-nintendo VS xpadneo

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

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

In the other distros I've tried (ubuntu / pop os) I usually solve the problem by installing xpadneo using the official method that can be found here. But this doesn't seem to be working in this case. I've already tried using gnome bluetooth settings, blueman and bluetoothctl.

That was more than a year ago though and it seems some people are working on linux drivers. xpadneo is probably a good starting point: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo

If that doesn't work either, I would try making an issue on their github and asking there: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/issues

2) install https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo

This very same controller has worked on this very same physical computer in the past, but under Ubuntu using the xpadneo driver (https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/). One day, for no reason as near as I can tell, it simply stopped working and showed the exact same symptoms as above (controller works for phone, not for PC, doesn't show up in bluetooth list. Other bluetooth devices work fine with the PC). This triggered my distro-hop to Endeavour just to discover the exact same issue.

You can try this custom mapping from xpadneo: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/blob/master/docs/SDL.md
