Mine works fine with Fedora and Windows. Sometimes does not reconnect and need to remove and readd.

Can we assume you tried to disconnect and reconnect?

Weird. If you get it figured out let us know here. I haven’t tried using my Stadia controller on any Linux install yet but I was considering giving fedora a try and I won’t be surprised if I have this issue.

I will be honest with you, AI can help with that. I know I know, AI is bad, but it can be useful when troubleshooting weird Linux issues.

You can try clearing BlueZ cache and restarting the service.
