===== Hardware =====
  * 8BitDo SN30 Pro+ Bluetooth Gamepad – seems to be better than the Switch Pro Controller and can also easily be used on PC, wired or wireless.
  * Nintendo Switch Pro Controller – original Nintendo gear, costs more than the 8BitDo SN30 Pro+
  * Network adapter:
    * Chipset AX88179 – works
    * Chipset RTL8153 – doesn't work

===== Troubleshooting =====
=== My eShop Card Code doesn't work! ===
→ there is no ''O'' (letter O) in eShop gift codes. Replace with ''0'' (number zero).

=== my Joy Con rattles when it's in the Ring Con! ===
If you use the Ring Fit Adventure controller ("ring con"), you may experience rattling when the controller vibrates.

If you put a bit of electrical tape on one side of the metal rail of the Ring-Con, the joycon slides in way harder but it also stops rattling. Just be sure to not put the tape over the bottom of the rail as there are some connector pins.
