I use a switch pro controller regularly on mint, so it should work. I believe support got merged into the kernel a while back.

If not, joycond also works (although it's a bit janky in my experience): https://github.com/DanielOgorchock/joycond

Thank you.

I thought all switch stuff needed that fancy driver.

What about PlayStation controllers?

Playstation controllers work for. I've tried ps4 and ps5 ones with no issues.

Yeah ps4 works a charm, the hard part for me was figuring out why an Xbox controller didn't. Turns out some of the older models had deprecated Bluetooth that it couldn't connect to, so went with a ps4 one instead.
