I just update my controller on Windows and after that, I synchronize the controller again, and now is working even the rumble is working fine.
Yep, it gets more and more clear that the primary issue is the controller firmware itself and since firmware 5.12, it seems rock solid on many Bluetooth chipsets.

I just bought a controller and its not even discoverable (using AX200). Do I need to install Windows to update the xbox controllers firmware? (I will try in a vm and pass-through the controller).
You can use a Windows eval version booted in a VM to update the controller but it only works reliably using the Xbox dongle - otherwise the controller will disconnect from the VM as soon as it reboots into firmware update mode (it becomes a different USB device in that mode). It may work if your VM software allows to automatically pass through new USB devices.
If your controller is still on firmware 4.x, there's a good chance it will work after updating to 5.x.

I borrowed a Win. laptop and updated the firmware. I have installed xpadneo using a Copr on Fedora, but bluetoothctl doesn't even discover the device.
Does it find other Bluetooth devices? If not, the radio may be disabled. Maybe come over to our Discord to get some help for this.
My headphones are working fine. What discord?

Severity / Impact
Description
I'm submitting this report because the Intel AX200 chipset is currently reported as not working at all, and also so I have a record of what I did to make it work in the likely event I forget. I can pair the controller, turn it off, turn it on again, and it connects automatically again. I used the workaround from #336 and it all just works.
Steps
These steps were performed with all-default settings in
/etc/bluetooth/main.conf
.remove <controller mac>
.scan on
in bluetoothctl.scan off
when the controller appears. For me it's namedXbox Wireless Controller
, making it easy to identify.pair <controller mac>
. There was one instance where I had to do this twice before it succeeded.disconnect <controller mac>
in bluetoothctl./var/lib/bluetooth/<adaptor mac>/<controller mac>/info
and remove the lines:sudo systemctl restart bluetoothd.service
.power on
in bluetoothctl.System Information
