Hello,

I can not get my bluetooth to discover my xbox core wireless controller. I’m running a dual boot with a Windows 10 install. There are no issues connecting to bluetooth on windows. I am also able to connect the controller to a laptop running Fedora 29 KDE.

I have already upgraded the firmware of the controller. I have installed xpadneo.

I have tried installing xone-dkms and xboxdrv-stable-git, neither of those worked. I have since uninstalled those to avoid any conflict with xpadneo.

Bluetoothctl sees other bluetooth devices, but never shows the MAC of the controller when I start a scan and put the controller in pairing mode. I verified that it has LE enabled.

Waiting to connect to bluetoothd...[bluetooth]# hci0 new_settings: powered bondable ssp br/edr le secure-conn cis-central cis-peripheral

My bluetooth device is an RZ608 (MediaTek MT7921K), which is using the kernel driver to work.

What am I missing that could potentially keep my Arch Linux desktop from even seeing the broadcasted MAC of the controller in order to even start the connection process?

    It has bluetooth. I’m able to connect it to bluetooth on Windows 10 with the same computer and was able to connect it to a Fedora 39 KDE laptop via bluetooth, as well.

    I suspect the issue is the Linux driver for the MediaTek MT7921K or the bluetooth configuration on my arch linux system needs to be adjusted somehow
