dkms-hid-nintendolic
A linux kernel module for the Nintendo Licensed pro-controller by Hori.
This is a (slightly) modified version of the driver for the original Nintendo pro-controller.
See discussion here.
Detection
type sudo dmesg after connecting the controller via bluetooth or usb, you should get something like
[ 1375.472751] input: Lic Pro Controller as /devices/virtual/misc/uhid/0005:0F0D:00F6.0003/input/input23
Where
0F0D is the vendor ID
00F6 is the model ID
In alternative, you can get the same IDs by lsusb after connecting via usb:
Bus 001 Device 051: ID 0f0d:00f6 Hori Co., Ltd HORI Wireless Switch Pad
Installation
Install it from source with:
git clone https://github.com/cipitaua/dkms-hid-nintendolic
cd dkms-hid-nintendolic
sudo dkms add .
sudo dkms build nintendolic -v 3.2
sudo dkms install nintendolic -v 3.2
Features
- Note that these gamepads work fine also with the hid-generic driver, except for the gyroscope and the leds are always blinking. The hid-nintendolic driver adds gyroscope support and fixes the leds blinking.
Known issues
- rumble is not working (any help is welcome)
- screenshot button may not work, depending on the app
SDL
- to map the buttons through SDL, put the following in
/etc/profile.d/sdl2-gamecontroller.sh, and reboot:
