## What it is
A Nintendo Switch homebrew sysmodule written in C++ that adds support for third-party USB game controllers like Xbox and DualShock pads. It runs under Atmosphère custom firmware and offers configurable deadzones and input remapping.

## Use cases
- use an xbox controller on nintendo switch
- connect dualshock 4 to switch via usb
- third-party controller support on switch homebrew
- remap controller inputs on switch
- adjust stick deadzone for switch controller
- use ps3 controller on switch dock

## When to choose
- you run Atmosphère CFW on a Switch (FW 5.0.0+) and want USB third-party controller support
- you need Xbox 360/One or DualShock 3/4 controllers working wired on Switch
- you want runtime-configurable deadzones and button remapping

## When to avoid
- you need Bluetooth controller support (use MissionControl instead)
- you need rumble or motion controls, which are unimplemented
- you have a generic third-party HID controller not yet supported
- your Switch runs stock firmware without Atmosphère
