Idk about bluetooth but I have the same problems with Xbox x/s wireless controller dongle. It works, I can connect two controllers and it pairs and connects them. But after I switch controller off and try to connect again one of two things would happen:
- Controller is unable to connect to dongle
- Controller connects to dongle but software like Steam don’t see it as connected
Solution in both cases is to unplug and replug the dongle. Sometimes the same happens after booting system - it won’t work until I replug dongle first.
I tested this dongle with same controllers in Win11, Mint and EndeavourOS and all is fine, it’s only Bazzite being weird about this.
