Fedora specific udev rule

[Handrail9]

Hi, just wanted to share an issue specific to Fedora so that if anyone on Fedora wants to use this tool, they'll be able to.

First, run lsusb, find the line that looks like this
Bus 001 Device 021: ID 057e:2069 Nintendo Co., Ltd Pro Controller
Make a new udev rule:
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/50-switch2pro.rules
Take the Vendor ID and Product ID and add it to the rule:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="057e", ATTR{idProduct}=="2069", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
Ctrl S + Crtl X to save and exit
run
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo udevadm trigger
Restart Chrome/Chromium/Brave/Ungoogled Chromium/Edge/ Whatever chromium based browser you use on Fedora and all should be well and work.

Thank you so much!
Was wondering what I had to put into udev to get my GCU to pair correctly.

I want to note that, while I have access and capability, the Nintendo Switch 2 charging grip (with the GL and GR buttons) has this following output from lsusb:

Bus {###} Device {###}: ID 057e:2068 Nintendo Co., Ltd USB2.0 Hub

A few notes here:

• The GC ultimate controllers now have ID 2009, of course you should just get the information from lsusb.
• GROUP="plugdev" line only works for distros that have a plugdev group that your user is in, in other cases you can either create such a group, or simply remove the GROUP line as that will add the permissions for all users. The latter worked for me (on Arch).
• For firmware updates you will need to connect the contoller in update mode as a pi which is a different device, for this you can simply create another udev rule file, copy everything from the above rule, and change the vendor and id (for me it was 2e8a:0003).
• You can check whether the permissions have been properly updated with ls -al /dev/bus/usb/BUS/NUM where you also find BUS and NUM in the lsusb output.
