A Python library and CLI tool that emulates Nintendo Switch controllers (Joy-Con L/R and Pro Controller) over Bluetooth HID. It lets a Linux machine or Raspberry Pi act as a Switch controller, sending button and stick inputs via an interactive command line.
Use cases
- emulate a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller from a Raspberry Pi over Bluetooth
- send automated button and stick inputs to a Switch console
- script controller input for Switch game automation or testing
- pair a Linux computer as a Joy-Con with a Switch
- run a CLI to control an emulated Switch controller
When to choose
- you need a software-only emulated Switch controller on Linux or Raspberry Pi
- you want to script or automate controller input to a Switch
- you need Joy-Con or Pro Controller emulation with a CLI interface
When to avoid
- you need NFC/Amiibo emulation, which has been removed
- you are on Windows or macOS, as it targets Linux Bluetooth stacks
- you need a polished GUI or plug-and-play controller emulation
- you require actively maintained software, as development has stalled
