Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1473064
Sony DUALSHOCK 3 (SIXAXIS) controllers do no completely pair over Bluetooth
Last modified: 2018-02-28 16:57:39 EST
Description of problem: While the controllers communicate with the host enough to see the devices as "connected" in interfaces like blueberry or bluetoothctl, they never pair. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-4.11.10-300.fc26.x86_64 bluez-5.45-1.fc26.x86_64 Additional info: DUALSHOCK 4 pairs and functions (verifying Bluetooth controller works).

We apologize for the inconvenience. There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale. The kernel moves very fast so bugs may get fixed as part of a kernel update. Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 26 kernel bugs. Fedora 26 has now been rebased to 4.15.4-200.fc26. Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel. If you have moved on to Fedora 27, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 27. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.
Update to kernel-4.15.4-300.fc27.x86_64 allows controller to connect successfully. However, beyond bluetooth, the kernel is still not communicating/understanding the controller enough to make the /dev/input/jsX device report any input. I have opened a separate bug for this.
