Recommend bluetooth?

[kanedait]

Can you help me get a "Bluetooth Low Energy" Dongles (or chipset) compatible with the xbox X series controller I would like it at least 5.0 on Amazon.it I live in Italy

[kakra]

I'm using this one: https://www.amazon.it/TP-Link-UB400-Bluetooth-Computer-unterst%C3%BCtzt-Black-Gold/dp/B07NQ5YGDW/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=tp+link+bt400&qid=1687626667&sprefix=tp+link+bt%2Caps%2C265&sr=8-1

But the UB500 model should be fine, too.

[kanedait]

Thank you i take the TP-Link UB500 I'll let you know later if it works fine

[kanedait]

I taken the TP-Link UB500. Sorry for wait, but I had problems. I use Fedora with clean install Fedora 38 and 37 I have the same problem: the controller disconnects and reconnects losing the rumble

I tried Fedora 36 and it works perfectly. So the dongle is ok, the problem is Fedora. can you help me?

for lower the "trigger rumble" $ sudo ./configure.sh --rumble-attenuation=50,50 the command is correct or wrong?!

[kakra]

This sounds like you may run an early firmware of the controller. Could you share the output of dmesg|grep xpadneo after connecting the controller?

[ 417.005951] xpadneo 0005:045E:0B13.0008: BLE firmware version 5.17

This looks new enough and should not have any problems. And the timing with ~990ms is very good, too, so we shouldn't fall into rumble crash territory.

Which kernel version are you running? (uname -a)

[kanedait]

6.3.11-200.fc38.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Jul 2 13:17:31 UTC 2023 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[kakra]

Is there a chance you could test with an LTS kernel like 6.1.x?

[kanedait]

i tried with 6.2.9-300.fc38.x86_64 same problem I don't know how to install older kernels

[kanedait]

I don't know if it can help. but sometimes add and remove on bluetooth, the controller work better

[un-couteau]

I use edimax bt-8500 (bt 5.0) I had problems with pairing, but then I updated the firmware of the controller via windows and now everything is fine

I solved it by copy this firmware from Fedora 35 on 38 rtl8761b_config.bin.xz rtl8761b_fw.bin.xz rtl8761bu_config.bin.xz rtl8761bu_fw.bin.xz

Closing as stale, distributions should fix this, there's nothing xpadneo could do.
