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
