Can external controllers still be connected on bazzite?

Bluetooth has connectivity issues with my headphones so I am wondering if it possible to pair controllers on bazzite.

It's worth a try. Personally I've not run into any issues with Bluetooth headphones or connecting my dualsense wirelessly

That's strange, I've never had any issues pairing audio devices Do they pair fine with over devices such as phones and other computers?

I would try restarting the Bluetooth service or trying to use Bluetoothctl to pair it So to restart it would be "sudo systemctl restart bluetooth" Restarting the deck would also do this if you don't wanna use the terminal And if that doesn't fix, you could try using the bluetoothctl tool to try pair your headphones

I used to use the Pro controller ages ago, but I think it was before Bazzite, and I don't think I had paired it since. Other people back around Thanksgiving or Christmas were reporting the same behavior here. I was assuming it was a weird Bluez issue mine is also official Nintendo

There was one, but that was patched upstream and brought back down to here Once ahead of schedule, and then again when it hit main

it might just be my headphones or it could be a different device trying to connect to my headphones

ujust configure-gamepads depending change to default or just skip the prompt alltogether ujust configure-gamepads stock then reboot next update stock will be default
CyberGlitterhoof
Going back enabling xbone and back to stock (with reboots in between) and re-pairing the controller got it working. Though it doesn't recognize it as an xbone controller unless wired in in steam. It thinks its a 360 controller when connected via Bluetooth. But whatever it works now

what do you mean by stock?

Brian@fedora ~> just configure-gamepads
Configuring gamepad drivers
Which drivers do you want to use?
Note: Enabling xone and xpadneo can break some 3rd party controllers

I thought you were talking about stock steam os
CyberGlitterhoof
when "enable xone, etc" was on it actually didn't see the controller at all in steam ah, nah

just visual from the driver, ignore it. the xbox elite controller shows up as a 360 controller with magic invisible bonus buttons 😂 Default fedora drivers will be default for new installs after friday update, so it should lower the amount of issues about this
dnkmmr
dnkmmr5mo ago
does that include bluetooth? and what drivers are we currently using?
HikariKnight
HikariKnight5mo ago
This is gamepad drivers, hence the configure-gamepads

what is the advantage of the fedora drivers over the valve drivers
1/4 Life

they aren't valve drivers it's a question of if you want xpad (stock linux kernel) or xone & xpadneo (more support for official controllers, less for knockoffs)
