generalizability?

Hi,
I'm a bit confused why keyboard controls would have to be patched into a game. Can't the keyboard just register as a joycon?
I play video games w voice for health reasons, and looking to make a similar thing for Switch. Might just end up emulating switch games using switchroot on the switch.

I don’t think skyline would be the best way to implement a keyboard -> joycon mapping. A mitm sysmodule would be a better fit and would actually work on every game. Also, just pretending to be a joycon might still be awkward to control.

Thanks so much for the reply, ohmigosh! I had little info from the switchflow discord.
How would I go about doing a mitm sysmodule? No idea what that is, since I just set up CFW today.
I play video games with my voice -- like when I play Dolphin games, I use WASDZX controls where saying "uuu" presses D, "aaa" for A, etc. I do this using NexusVoice, my GUI fork of another voice control software. Basically just uses python3.8 and pyautogui.
I was thinking I could use switchroot to run ubuntu and emulate Yuzu on that ubuntu to play games as a workaround, but given how Odyssey instantly crashed on my PC, i'd greatly prefer setting something up natively like a mitm sysmodule, just not sure where to start learning how to make that

I don’t think it’s that entry level. You’d want to look at what MissonControl does, a custom sysmodule that adds support for third party wireless controllers. In your case, you instead want to poll from the keyboard and serve that.

Do you know how I would make my PC act as a bluetooth controller?

this is very late, but it would require you use joycontrol which only works on linux machines
i've used it a lot of times before, and it has a decent programming api to write custom input code (in python)
