wiimote 0005:057E:0330.000B: detected extension: Nintendo Wii U Pro Controller wiimote 0005:057E:0330.000B: detected device: Nintendo Wii U Pro Controller I opened terminal to see the kernel messages concerning this device by running: dmesg It was just as I would expect from any other controller I own. I checked the capabilities of the controller, to see that it was usable, in the System Settings > Input Devices > Joystick. It connected, the lights stopped flashing on the controller with one solid light glowing. Nintendo chose to use Bluetooth technology in the Wii and Wii U so I started off by Pressed the Sync button on the controller and it showed when selecting Add Device on the KDE Plasma Bluetooth configuration tool. The machine I tested this on is running openSUSE Tumblweed Kernel 4.16.0 and it is my understanding that the wiimote kernel drivers have been in place since 3.1. I made the assumption that I would have to install xwiimote to get it to work but upon reading and some further understanding of all the work some incredibly smart people have done, I only need that for the Wii Remotes. I wanted to try out these Wii U pro Controllers on Linux, play some Steam games but fully expecting the process to be a headache you know, because Nintendo. Upon holding the Wii U Pro Controller in my hand, it felts so good… almost perfect for my somewhat long and gangly fingers. I think putting “New” in the title is a bit silly because it isn’t new now. I wanted these in order to play this “New Super Mario Wii U” game and compare it against my favorite of the franchise. On the hunt for the replacement Gamepad, I also acquired a couple of these Wii U Pro Controllers. I originally set out to fix the game pad but the issue with some of the buttons not working along with the digitizer, it had me thinking I should just replace the whole thing so I can start using the console. I have had one for a little while but the Gamepad digitizer has been broken for some time. The Wii U is now a deprecated gaming console, which makes me much more interested in it. Plug the dongle in a USB, pop in some batteries and away you go. There is nothing you have to do to get it to work. I have historically liked the PS3 controllers in Linux. I don’t do much serious gaming on Linux but I do like to play the occasional Steam or older games in an emulator.
