EDIT: Doing some tangential research is leading me to order and try a BT4.0 dongle instead of the built-in 5.0 bluetooth on the laptop. It appears that the controllers do not work properly, or at least do not reconnect properly, with BT5.0 adapters. I’ll update when the new dongle gets here and can test it.
Hi Everyone,
I’m having an issue where every time I turn off my Switch Pro Controller I have to re-pair it in order for it to work (it pairs, but does not show up in /dev/js0-4 or evtest).
This does NOT happen with my XBox Series S|X Controller (using xpad-neo), it works as expected each time.
I’m not sure what information is needed so here is a bunch of what I suspect is needed:
output of lsmod when the controller is connected showing the hid-nintendo module:
Module Size Used by
hid_nintendo 49152 0
output of bluetoothctl info when the device is connected:
