Resources/discussions for Switch 2 controllers?

[Meorge]

I recognize this may not be directly related to this repository, but it feels close enough that people who are interested in Switch 2 controller RE'ing (such as myself) may come here looking for information or leads.

Has anyone made progress with, or is anyone working on, reverse-engineering the Switch 2 Joy-Cons and Pro Controller Bluetooth connection? I tried connecting them to my Mac using the same strategy as the original Joy-Cons/Pro Controller, but they don't even appear in my list of available Bluetooth devices.

If there is work being done on this front, where can it be found and followed?

Unlike the Switch 1 peripherals, it seems that the Switch 2 Joy-Cons and Pro Controller use BLE for connection.

I've started documenting some things publicly here https://github.com/ndeadly/switch2_controller_research

Thank you both for the info! It had completely skipped my mind that it was possible to connect to the controllers via USB. I'll keep an eye on that repo, and if I'm able to do any research of my own and find useful stuff, I'll try to contribute too! 😄
