Bluetooth gamepad connects but not shown
by ControlK from LinuxQuestions.org on (#562BQ)
Hi,
I recently got an off-brand switch pro controller to use with my laptop.
The gamepad connects through bluetooth using blueberry (blueman-manager just gives an "input/output error" message).
After connecting the controller also shows in bluetoothctl:
Code:[Pro Controller]# info
Device 98:B6:E9:45:F8:FD (public)
Name: Pro Controller
Alias: Pro Controller
Class: 0x00002508
Icon: input-gaming
Paired: yes
Trusted: yes
Blocked: no
Connected: yes
LegacyPairing: no
UUID: Human Interface Device... (00001124-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb)
Modalias: usb:v054Cp05C4d0100However none of the test applications (jstest-gtk, evtest-qt, or steam) show the controller, and i can not seem to find it in /dev/input.
I'm using artix linux and i have the hid-nintendo-nso-dkms and nintendo-udev packages installed,
There also seem to be no new files in /dev/ anywhere after connecting.
EDIT: it does connect to my android phone, so it is not simply that the gamepad can not connect to anything.
