Does anyone know yet if the Switch 2 GameCube controller can be used on Dolphin via Bluetooth connection?

It would be great if i could replace my bulky Wii U GameCube adapter that's plugged into my PC that i use to play Dolphin with my Wavebird controller with the Switch 2 GC controller and simply have it run off my Bluetooth dongle... plus no more having to replace batteries as i could just charge it with my usb c cord that i charge all my other thingeys with.

Also i currently use x360ce to use that same Wavebird on some of my Steam games... if it's not currently natively supported by Dolphin then does anyone know if maybe i could use x360ce to make Dolphin think a Switch 2 GC controller is an Xbox controller and then i just simply map the buttons and joysticks?

yes its a normal bluetooth controller

Their wireless N64 controller also works

So you're saying yes... the Switch 2 GC controller definitely will work on Dolphin connected to my PC via Bluetooth ?

what i did was use a mayflash adaptor and a blue retro ngc reciever, when you pair the switch 2 gcc to the reciever it acts as if it was recieving input a normal gc adapter and thus you get less input lag then if you were choosing the standard controller option on dolphin, this *should* also in theory work with delfinovin to convert the input into an xbox controller input for games that dont support gcc like on steam *maybe*?

Yes but you will need a program

I need to work out some kinks first, but sure. I need someone to test it cause I know it works with both my controllers just not sure if it works with everyone’s

The easiest way to get people to test it is to post it publicly somewhere (like here) and have people report back. This would also result in a larger sample size.
