xpadneo VS xone

In the other distros I've tried (ubuntu / pop os) I usually solve the problem by installing xpadneo using the official method that can be found here. But this doesn't seem to be working in this case. I've already tried using gnome bluetooth settings, blueman and bluetoothctl.

That was more than a year ago though and it seems some people are working on linux drivers. xpadneo is probably a good starting point: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo

If that doesn't work either, I would try making an issue on their github and asking there: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/issues

2) install https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo

This very same controller has worked on this very same physical computer in the past, but under Ubuntu using the xpadneo driver (https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/). One day, for no reason as near as I can tell, it simply stopped working and showed the exact same symptoms as above (controller works for phone, not for PC, doesn't show up in bluetooth list. Other bluetooth devices work fine with the PC). This triggered my distro-hop to Endeavour just to discover the exact same issue.

You can try this custom mapping from xpadneo: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/blob/master/docs/SDL.md

https://github.com/medusalix/xone (recommended)

There is a way to make it work with this https://github.com/medusalix/xone There are tutorials in this subreddit. I’ve done it and it was noticeable better than Bluetooth IMHO.

For example, I have some old Xbox One controllers that don't have Bluetooth and an Xbox Wireless Adapter, I got them working with the xone driver.

I think you need this https://github.com/medusalix/xone

https://github.com/medusalix/xone This is where I got the files and instructions.

What you need is to install the Xbox One driver. You can find it under xone.
