Can't connect PS5 Dual Sense via Bluetooth - Fedora 38 KDE (self.linux_gaming)

Anyone can help me? I wasn't able to find any solution for this. The controller works via USB-C just fine but I only have a very short cable, I borrowed the controller from a friend to try it and don't have the original cable but I was intending to play via Bluetooth anyways.

Basically, I can find the controller via pairing mode but when I try to pair it I get error:

The Setup of Dual Sense wireless Controller has failed.

After that I can see it in available wireless devices but when I try to connect to it it will immediately disconnect again, checked with bluetoothctl.

Using on-board Intel AX200 wireless controller.

I'm assuming you've already verified that other bluetooth devices work as expected.

A different distro (e.g. Debian Stable) might help narrow down the problem, as their kernels tend to be built with different options and their packages sometimes have different default configurations. Be sure to look for helpful messages in dmesg and syslog/journalctl.

After that, the next thing I would try is a USB bluetooth dongle. Some bluetooth modules don't work well with Sony's controllers, and it's possible that the one on your motherboard is among them.

To be fair I'm fairly new to Linux, idk what half of the stuff you mentioned means. I don't plan switching distro.
