I’m having a heck of a time trying to connect the Switch Pro controller to latest Fedora over Bluetooth. It will pair, but won’t ‘connect’ - meaning is unusable. This happens over GUI and command line.

SteamOS can do this fine once the initial configuration is done. Any suggestions on attempts to fix this?

    I had the same issue some time ago, and found that connecting with bluetoothctl in the terminal gave way more reliable results than the visual interface

      What’s your distro? And to a nintendo pro controller? I tried Bluetooth CTL but it gave the same error as the GUI.

        Right now i’m on mint, but when this issue happened, i was on fedora 42.

        But if bluetoothctl does not work either, maybe it’s another issue that i had (maybe the drivers or something)
