Does anybody else have an issue with the 8bitdo controllers? I need help. (forums.linuxmint.com)

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 running bluetoothctl from the commandline and playing around with it. This article is for Gentoo but you can go through the manual steps in "Device pairing" and maybe you'll be able to identify the issue.

Looking at bluetooth logs could also be useful. If the service is called bluetooth on Mint, try running:

journalctl -u bluetooth
