Description

I see the pro controler listed in the rules:

# Nintendo Switch Pro Controller over bluetooth hidraw
KERNEL=="hidraw*", KERNELS=="*057E:2009*", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess"

But the regular one seems to be missing:

[301891.672726] input: Nintendo Switch Right Joy-Con as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-14/1-14:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:256/0005:057E:2007.0039/input/input110

I think the same rule as above should work just changing 2009 to 2007?

Research direction

Locate the udev rule containing the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller identifier 057E:2009 and compare it with the reported regular controller identifier 057E:2007. Add or verify the corresponding rule for the regular controller, then check that the resulting rule grants the expected permissions to the Joy-Con device.
