PBTails Gamepad (Nintendo Switch Pro Controller)

[samermurad]

So there is this controller: https://www.pbtails.com/

Which Identifies itself as "Nintendo Switch Pro Controller", the specification of the layout looks like so:

Joystick Name: Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
GUID: 030000007e0500000920000001006800
6 axes (RT and LT are read as an axis)
0 trackballs
0 hat(s)
16 buttons

I've tested it only on macOS, so I don't know if it gets the same Id on all platforms?

The controller still works without the specification, but the X/O Triangle/Square behavior is flipped (Nintendo style), this specification gives the expected result

Thanks for the PR.

The GUID tail suggests the DB shouldn't need this mapping since the device is handled by SDL's HIDAPI mapping: #478

I don't exactly understand the problem you're having here, but since the device reports the same as the Switch Pro controller, you'll have to take the mapping issue upstream to SDL if it needs addressing.

What I meant by it is that the right side button, A/B X/Y, are flipped, so without the provided specification, the controller clicks Y when clicking X, A when clicking B, and vice versa, from the mapping, it seems the rest of the Nintendo controllers have the same manual fix, of setting a:b1,b:b0,x:b3,y:b2 instead of a:b0,b:b1,x:b2,y:b3, so I'm sure this should be upstreamed? or maybe Im getting this wrong, I'll read through tickets and post again, thanks for the quick response though.
