Using Switch Pro Controller

Help and Support Vero V
1

Hi.
Has anyone managed to use the Switch Pro Controller on the Vero V?
I can get it to pair and connect, but subsequent connections will fail.

Trying to connect it via bluetootchctl results in:

org.bluez.Error: Failed br-connection-create-socket

I tried various workarounds like setting these settings:

ClassicBondedOnly=false
FastConnectable=true
ControllerMode=bredr

But it didn’t help.

I have hid_nintendo showing up in the output of lsmod.

Any idea how to make this work?
Thanks.

Hi

I’m not familiar with this device.

Do you have a link to it?

It is a controller for the previous Nintendo console: Pro Controller for Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Official Site

I’ll check it out and see if there’s a trivial way to add support.
I don’t have one at hand though (or a Nintendo console), which usually helps.

I thought this controller was well supported on Linux, but I tried on my laptop and it had the same issue.
So, it’s probably not worth investigating on the Vero V.
I’ll try to make it work on my laptop first.

That makes sense.
