Package Information

Description:

This hid-nintendo kernel driver adds support for Nintendo Switch Joy-Con and Pro Controllers, connected over USB or Bluetooth. Joy-Cons be used either separately or in combined mode. This driver will be included in a future release of Linux 5.16[1]. This package consists of just the driver, extracted for use with older kernels. You probably also want games-util/joycond, a daemon which implements Joy-Con pairing. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/nycvar.YFH.7.76.2110191054080.12554@cbobk.fhfr.pm/
