Joymote

Use Joy-Con or Pro Controller as remote control of Linux machine.

Currently, only support Pro Controller. We are working on supporting Joy-Con.

Requirements

• joycond

  • Install and start. For example, if you are on Arch Linux, you can run

    yay -S joycond-git
    sudo systemctl enable --now joycond
    

  • Then, follow this instruction to pair the controller(s).

• uinput module

  • Check whether the uinput module is loaded, by running:

    lsmod | grep uinput
    

    If it is loaded, you will see a line like uinput 20480 0.

  • You can manually load the module by running:

    sudo modprobe uinput
    

  • You can also run the following command to load uinput modules automatically on boot.

    sudo bash -c "cat uinput > /etc/modules-load.d/uinput.conf"
