@beardalaxy linux seems to have some half-assed driver for switch pro controllers. there's a bunch of log errors about failing to set LED levels and shit.

@icedquinn you mean the steam input drivers or something else?

@icedquinn

@icedquinn @beardalaxy bluetooth can be difficult... maybe try a different bluetooth adapter

@Jain @beardalaxy it does that on the wire too.

some shitlord wrote this driver apparently. its a known issue

@icedquinn @beardalaxy or the driver is fucked and wont work with your pro controller

@Jain @beardalaxy apparently it has something to do with non-official controllers do not have an LED round the home button and the linux driver is hard coded to terminate the device if it fails to probe that light.

there's a fix that's just been sitting in the mailing list for 8 months
