Would it be possible to use my Xbox one controller on my switch using something with cfw Instead of buys a adapter for it? Thank you!

Short answer: No

Long answer: The first version of Xbox One controller has it's own proprietary wireless protocol not supported by Switch.

The second revision actually supports bluetooth, so I'm guessing there could be a possibility, but will anyone go through the trouble or writing a driver and a wrapper, is another story.

Exactly.
Xbox One S or X controller has Bluetooth.
Vanilla one doesn't.

maybe the second version could be supported
i have the X one adapter and it works good on my switch, however it doesn't wake up my switch, only wake up the PS4.

I would just get the mayflash magic NS, has the ability to sync loads of different controllers to it, and doesn't require messing around when switching between them....the one that is attached to my switch currently has a snes pad(8bitdo diy),an xbox one controller and a ps4 controller sync'd to it(swapping between them is as simple as turning one controller off and then turning the next one on.
i also use 4 in my arcade machine and its really simplified my life. i couldn't recommend them more.....considering i have 5 in total

Would be awesome for the Steam Controller as well, since it also has gyro sensor and Bluetooth. There are open-source drivers for Linux, but I guess it's too much work to port it to the Switch.

THIS! I got the 8bitdo adapter off AliExpress for $13. Updated to latest firmware from official website, and it works great with my DS4 and XB1 controllers. Totally worth the investment.
