Xbox Controller Connection Issues (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hi folks,

I got a new Xbox Series X Controller (Model 1914). I had Xbox One controller before.

With xpadneo installed I had basically no problems running my xbox one controller. It connected via BT with no issues and workes in games really well wired and wireless.

The new controller on the other hand, works really well via cable, but does not connect via BT. I can find it, I can pair it, but I cannot connect to it.

xpadneo readme says Series X needs a BT stick with BLE so I bought one, but that did not solve the problem (I'm not sure if BLE needs to be activated or how to do it rn).

One thing to try is to update the firmware of the controller, however that needs to be done on Windows, the Arch Wiki has some additional info where people explain pairing issues

There's also a section on "able to pair but no inputs" in the troubleshooting section on the same Wiki page

Oh, updating firmware sounds reasonable. Thanks!

It’s the answer.
