Lic2 Pro Controller

Is this actually how it shows up, with the number 2 in there? The controller name is used for identifying Nintendo controllers before falling back to searching the vid/pid. It seems like maybe this string is incorrect for an official Nintendo controller, and the vid/pid is empty, so the controller isn't being detected correctly.

It turns out Lic2 Pro Controller is a new official device name string introduced in firmware 15.0.0. I've added it to the list of official device names, so this should allow newer PowerA and other 3rd party licensed controllers to be detected correctly.

That did the trick. I just tested it on Firmware 14.1.2 and it worked perfectly. I have a Firmware 16.0.3 Switch I can test it on, also, if you need anything from that one. Really appreciate your work on this!

That's fine, if it works on one it will work across all firmwares.
