Nintendo Switch Pro controller right stick axes unavailable with gamepad mapping in sim GUI

[auscompgeek]

Describe the bug

In the simulation GUI, when using a Nintendo Switch Pro controller (including 3rd party Switch Pro controllers) over USB, the robot code cannot read the right stick axes when the gamepad mapping is enabled. This is likely because only 4 axes are available on the Switch Pro controller instead of the 6 that are required by XboxController.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open simulation GUI
2. Connect Switch Pro controller to Joystick[0]
3. Tick "Map gamepad"

Expected behavior

The axes for the right thumb stick can be read.

I suspect this is fixed by #8593 since it adds a switch pro mapping for Linux

The existing mapping correctly maps the digital trigger buttons to the axes so I'm not entirely sure it would. I'll try running it some time this week to check though.
