I posted this on the Linux mint forums a while ago, but no traffic on the post and it's driving me crazy.
Problem: I can connect the controllers just fine via Bluetooth, but yuzu and dolphin don't recognize them unless I've deleted them from blueman and freshly re-paired them. More details abd system info in the forum post, but this is the gist. Does anybody have any insight? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Try to mark the devices as trusted in blueman and see if it helps.
Already did that to no avail. It seems like no matter what I do, this is what I’m doomed to. I’ll have to check out the BIOS/firmware for the controllers like the other person suggested.
