Could you build this?
No The product depends on hardware: a Pico 2 W controller emulating USB HID input, plus a low-latency capture pipeline for a Switch 2 video feed. Getting the latency and device-level behavior right requires embedded and low-level Linux expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires a USB video capture card, a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W running custom firmware to emulate a controller, keyboard and mouse, and a Linux app using V4L2 or GStreamer with GPU decoding for low latency. Lua and OCR scripting can sit on top, but the firmware, HID emulation and timing work need embedded developers and hardware testing.
