      Hi guys, I would really like to use the original Switch / N64 controller with my Raspberry Pi 5 . As I found no proof of it working per se, I was wondering if I could pair the controller via the 8bitdo Usb Wireless Adapter 2. Does anyone have any expierience with this?

      On paper, it should work, as the Adapter supports both usage with the raspberry pi and, since firmware update v1.01, apparently also the N64 Switch controller ("Added support for Switch Online N64 / Online MD Bluetooth controller").

      Thanks for any hints!

        You'll need a separate driver for the N64 NSO controller to work - https://github.com/emilyst/hid-nx-dkms.
