Can't connect more then one xbox controller(?)

[sprokkel78]

After linking the first xbox-controller, the second xbox-controller is not visible on bluetoothctl.

It should be, I connected around 6 different controllers, and they can all be connected at the same time.

Hmm, only one of my three xbox controllers gets recognized by bluetoothctl. How is that possible?

Please inspect the output of bluetoothctl while connecting the controllers.

If only one and always the same controller gets recognized, chances are that the others are simply not paired correctly, not paired at all, or didn't boot in Bluetooth mode. You can switch Xbox controllers between Xbox and Bluetooth mode by double-clicking the connect button.

That might be the case. But I can't pair them because I can't see the mac-address or any other indiciation to an xbox controller in bluetootctl with scan on.

Then it is not announcing Bluetooth. Try double-clicking the connect button while it blinks and see if it shows up. xpadneo supports any amount of controllers.

If it still doesn't work, try short-press (0.5s) of the connect button while it tries to connect.

If that still doesn't work, connect to a Windows machine via USB and update the firmware. Early versions of the firmware had various Bluetooth issues (and didn't support switching between two modes easily).

There is no announcement on Bluetooth , none at all. I tried double-clicking and short-press to no avail.

I have no windows machine.
