Subject: [PATCH v14 0/4] HID: nintendo: Add preliminary Switch 2 controller driver
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 21:56:00 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929045607.2106149-1-vi@endrift.com> (raw)
This adds a new driver for the Switch 2 controllers. The Switch 2 uses an
unusual split-interface design such that input and rumble occur on the main
HID interface, but all other communication occurs over a "configuration"
interface. This is the case on both USB and Bluetooth, so this new driver
uses a split-driver design with the HID interface being the "main" driver
and the configuration interface is a secondary driver that looks up to the
HID interface, sharing resources on a common struct.
Due to using a non-standard pairing interface as well as Bluetooth
communications being extremely limited in the kernel, a custom interface
between userspace and the kernel will need to be designed, along with
bringup in BlueZ. That is beyond the scope of this initial patch, which
only contains the generic HID and USB configuration interface drivers.
This initial work supports general input for the Joy-Con 2, Pro Controller
2, and GameCube NSO controllers. IMU, rumble and battery support is not yet
present.
Since v13 two changes were made:
- The nintendo-switch2-usb supplementary driver was renamed to
hid-nintendo-switch2-usb and moved into the drivers/hid directory.
- An additional patch was added, allowing the NYXI Hyperion 3 third-party
controller to work properly, as it had a broken report descriptor.
