      I'm using the latest version of Retropie on my Raspberry Pi 4b.
      It's running on an USB-Stick.
      I just bootet the first time. It says 1 Gamepad detected hold any key to configure controller, but nothing happens if I hold a key.

            I personally could never get the switch pro controller to work. I gave up on it and used other controllers.

                I use a switch pro controller with my Pi 3B+ and it works great.
                I use it over bluetooth instead of wired so I don't know if that is the problem, but it definitely can work.

                  To use a Switch controller wired, you have to install both of its drivers first:
                  https://joaorb64.github.io/2020/04/08/using-nintendo-switch-controllers-on-linux.html
                  After this, you must press ZL and ZR to pair it everytime. Working fine on a RPi3B+.
