I agree naming wise, I'm not sure if I really like the name swithcon
either. I would almost considered naming it "hid-switch" or
"hid-joycon", though the last one is maybe strange as the Switch Pro
Controller is quite different. For me maybe "hid-switch", I probably
call JoyCon specific functions "joycon_" and something else for the
Switch Pro controller. Not sure how much I like "procon_" though,
maybe "swpro" or some other acronym with pro.
