Validate that controllers work correctly? #67

Open hildebro opened 3 years ago

hildebro commented 3 years ago

I've installed dkms-hid-nintendo and joycond as described in the respective repos without any error. I connected my switch pro controller and it paired into player slot 1 without me having to press L+R. But it doesn't look like the controller is actually working. In steam, no controller shows up. And Dolphin just shows [disconnected] evdev/0/Nintendo Pro Controller in the emulated wii controller section. My joycond journal is pretty empty:

I can't pin down, whether this is a joycond issue or a steam/dolphin issue. Is there a way to validate that linux actually recognized the controller?

Use evtest.

I am having the same problem; the Pro Controller appears to be connected correctly and the installation proceeded without any errors, but Steam does not recognize it at all. Using evtest I also can see that it responds to input and the input is recognized.
