## What it is
NXBT is a Python tool that emulates Nintendo Switch controllers over Bluetooth, letting you control a Switch via a web app, terminal, macros, or a Python API. It supports multiple emulated controllers, loop-capable macros, and fast reconnection.

## Use cases
- control a nintendo switch from a browser
- run macros on a switch from the terminal
- emulate a pro controller over bluetooth
- automate switch gameplay with a python script
- connect multiple emulated controllers to a switch

## When to choose
- you need programmatic or macro-driven control of a Nintendo Switch on Linux
- you want a web or terminal interface for remote Switch input

## When to avoid
- you need controller emulation on Windows or macOS without extra setup
- you need a maintained project with frequent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: cli, gui, sdk, workflow-automation
- domain: gaming-tools, hardware, developer-tools
- platform: python, cli
- tags: nintendo-switch, bluetooth, controller-emulation, hid, macros, webapp, automation, linux, web-server
