Switch 2 Pro Controller: bridging its USB HID reports to Windows XInput

Windows-Switch2-Pro-Controller reconstructs the Switch 2 Pro Controller's USB wake and HID report behavior in a Windows bridge. It parses button and stick reports, forwards input through ViGEmBus as an Xbox 360 pad, and relays rumble back to the controller; an optional BLE path is also described.
