Fedora and Switch 1 Pro Controller? (fedia.io)

I'm having a heck of a time trying to connect the Switch Pro controller to latest Fedora over Bluetooth. It will pair, but won't 'connect' - meaning is unusable. This happens over GUI and command line.

SteamOS can do this fine once the initial configuration is done. Any suggestions on attempts to fix this?

You need a driver for the controller, or an input library . It doesn't "just work" in this sense.

If you have Steam installed and the controller works fine in games there, this is the issue. Steam runs the Steam input library, and takes the input from the device and translates it into compatible commands for the games.
