sys-con lets you use third-party controllers on a docked Switch via USB

Have you ever thought about hooking up another console's controller to your Switch but you don't fancy either carrying around a USB adapter dongle or running an app on another device for hid-mitm? Look no further then, as sys-con is here to save the day!

Sys-con is a custom Switch sysmodule that allows you to use third-party controllers on your Nintendo Switch. Unlike the other previously mentioned homebrew solution, which, as the name suggests, worked by MITMing Horizon OS' built-in hid module, sys-con just needs you to connect your controllers using your Dock's USB ports: no Wi-Fi connection or external applications required. Not only this will result in less input latency (and, of course, a much simpler setup) but it also means the sysmodule won't conflict with Atmosphère 0.9.4's libnx input workaround, making it fully compatible with the CFW's latest version!

There are, however, a few limitations. First off, as hinted before, sys-con only works in Docked mode. The sysmodule is also only compatible with DualShock 3, Xbox 360 (wired, the wireless dongle reportedly doesn't work) and Xbox One controllers, with DualShock 4 support coming soon. Lastly, rumble and motion controls do not work at the moment.

Sys-con has been developed by @cathery and can be downloaded by clicking the download link below. It officially supports Atmosphère and will work on FW 5.0.0 and up (warning: crashes or freezes may happen on 9.0.X due to high memory usage). You can install it by extracting the release's contents on your microSD card, overwriting if necessary, and then rebooting your console. For more information on upcoming features, troubleshooting and developer support, head over to the project's GitHub repo (also linked below).

So this doesnt show up on Kosmos Toolbox sysmodule manager/Background services. Any idea why?
it's not setup to show up in kosmos toolbox, it just works when you put it on the root of sd.
if you want to disable it you will have to rename boot2.flag to something else

Thanks! So i checked and you can add it manually, same line structure as the other modules. Works great.

My controller (Xbox one) continually disconnects until it finally doesn't work. The cord I use is good since I use it with my PC don't know if it's just reaching some sort of memory problem.

What about Logitech controllers? More specifically the FC110 PC gamepad? Will it work if I leave the setting on Xpad or switch it to DirectInput?

Can someone test this with Parsec?
Playing local multiplayer only games online would be cool

Would this work with SX OS as well?
no, sx os doesn't and will never support custom sys modules

Okay yes here comes the Dumb question what happens if you use it on SX ??
If someone says that he's using it in SX, he's lying because it's technically impossible, as SX can't load kips (Only free CFW can, the paid solution doesn't mean that it's the premium solution)

The latest version of SXOS supports custom sys module.
And the most modules are no longer kips, they are nsps now. ;-)
