Created attachment 294065 [details] bluetoothd -n -d output When using my official Dualshock3 gamepad with bluetooth it connects, but then never pairs. To pair it I did: power on agent on default-agent discoverable on pairable on scan on Then plugged in the gamepad via the usb cable, entered 'yes' to the authorization request, unplugged it and pressed the power button on the gamepad. The gamepad does work via the usb cable. I attached a log with the output of 'bluetoothd -n -d' and in dmesg the following is printed.

Hi, AFAIR DS3 doesn't support pairing. You need to use sixaxis plugin in bluez and configure it via USB. steps: make sure you DS3 is not connected over BT plug it via USB unplug press PS button authorize incoming bluetooth connection from BT

I followed the instructions described in the gentoo wiki and in similar issues. The results always seem the same. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Sony_DualShock#DualShock_3 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200009 I also have both a Shenwen and Gasia ds3 gamepads which fail in the same way.
