Nintendo Switch Pro Controller - HID Linux Driver

Features

• This driver fully enables normal controller usage both over bluetooth and USB.
• The gyroscope can be enabled and disabled by holding the HOME button for 2 seconds, and will function as a third joystick.
• The gyroscope can "aim-assist" the left or right analog sticks by holding down the L or R trigger while holding the HOME button to enable the gyroscope. Once enabled, hold the L or R trigger to have the gyroscope be applied to the left or right analog stick's input.
• The joysticks can be controlled by the d-pad by holding the HOME button and pressing in one of the joysticks for 2 seconds, for old 2D games that want to be controlled by a joystick.
• Simple force feedback is supported.
• The LED order indicator works for up to 8 unique controllers.

Building & Installation
