Description
joycond is a linux daemon which uses the evdev devices provided by hid-nintendo (formerly known as hid-joycon) to implement joycon pairing.
Installation Instructions
Forward: this is compiled from github.com/DanielOgorchock/joycond for personal use as there currently are no other builds around (that I have found) Instructions for use are a direct copy and past from the github.
To set the daemon to load on boot Type: sudo systemctl enable --now joycond
To start normaly Type: sudo systemctl start joycond
To stop Type: sudo systemctl stop joycond
To disable from start on boot Type: sudo systemctl disable joycond
When a joy-con or pro controller is connected via bluetooth or USB, the player LEDs should start blinking periodically. This signals that the controller is in pairing mode.
For the pro controller, pressing both triggers will "pair" it.
For the pro controller, pressing Plus and Minus will pair it as a virtual controller. This is useful when using Steam.
With the joy-cons, to use a single contoller alone, hold ZL and L at the same time (ZR and R for the right joy-con). Alternatively, hold both S triggers at once.
To combine two joy-cons into a virtual input device, press a single trigger on both of them at the same time. A new uinput device will be created called "Nintendo Switch Combined Joy-Cons".
Rumble support is now functional for the combined joy-con uinput device.
