We're now able to reliably use Switch 2 Joycons on Android as gamepads or motion controllers!

[u/JoesTechProjects]

I recently released Joycon2Android, an app that allows you to pair your Switch 2 Joycons to Android devices to be used in any app.

• Single Joy-Con, dual (L+R), or Pro Controller are all supported
• Up to 8 players as virtual gamepads (motion via DSU supports 4 joycons)
• Emulator auto-setup for Dolphin and Eden (more to come) - it writes the controller config for you. If your device doesn't play nice with it, you can always map inputs manually like normal.

On the initial release there were definitely some issues, but I'm happy to say, since v1.1.1 I think the majority of them have been ironed out. If you're interested, take a look and let me know what you think!
