i have suffered with this problem since 5 years but my controller just doesnt connects to using bluetooth(on every distro that i have ever tried), at the first pairing it will show the bluetooth connection wizard has failed to connect after closing the wizard, it will show the it was able to pair with the controller and if press the ps button it will connect with the pc and instantly disconnect and reconnect

when on the arch wiki read about it, also saw some youtube videos about it, everyone is saying that it just works about of the box, i also have all the dependencies required or ps4 controller to connect properly, bluez, bluez-util, and others. and the thing is pretty much no one on the internet has his specific issue that i am facing everyone is saying that the controller connects without any issue with the pc but is not getting recognized in pc. mine issue is total different from everyone
