Question

connected but can't detect any key

I want Joycon be an additional Input device in Linux, but not for game. So I don't really know if the drive is designed for this.

In the shell seems good:

but with command xev I can't see any key in Joycon. And the package "pynput" , which can monitor the keyboard in Python, does also not work.

Same issue, but just trying to use it in dolphin.
No debug output beyond this is generated (as shown here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw6h8uZDAV8)

According to dolphin, no button input, let alone joystick movement, seems to happen.
Using Linux56, Manjaro

FWIW xev is for keyboard/mouse input. Not for joysticks.

This seems to be getting more wierd.
Steam controller settings works perfectly (joycons paired as a single controller - ie R + L pair rather then SL + SR) with the left joycon, but the right only registers presses and movements on the joystick about 10% of the time.
