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.
