Pretty much since update to Bluez-5 with its in-tree SixAxis/DS3 support I've been experiencing this strange bug: about every minute both axises of both sticks "jump" to their lowest position for one "frame" and then back to normal. It only behaves like that under bluez 5, connected wirelessly, and never under Windows® or via USB. Here's some data: `sdl2-jstest` output: [ ~ ] % sdl2-jstest --event 0 Joystick Name: 'PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller' Joystick GUID: 050000004c0500006802000000010000 Joystick Number: 0 Number of Axes: 4 Number of Buttons: 19 Number of Hats: 0 Number of Balls: 0 GameController: not a gamepad Entering joystick test loop, press Ctrl-c to exit SDL_JOYDEVICEADDED which:0 SDL_JOYAXISMOTION: joystick: 0 axis: 0 value: -32768 SDL_JOYAXISMOTION: joystick: 0 axis: 1 value: -32768 SDL_JOYAXISMOTION: joystick: 0 axis: 2 value: -32768 SDL_JOYAXISMOTION: joystick: 0 axis: 3 value: -32768 SDL_JOYAXISMOTION: joystick: 0 axis: 0 value: 0 SDL_JOYAXISMOTION: joystick: 0 axis: 1 value: 0 SDL_JOYAXISMOTION: joystick: 0 axis: 2 value: 0 SDL_JOYAXISMOTION: joystick: 0 axis: 3 value: 0 `evtest /dev/input/event15|grep ABS_X` output: Event: time 1415565008.363798, type 3 (EV_ABS), code 0 (ABS_X), value 130 Event: time 1415565008.394811, type 3 (EV_ABS), code 0 (ABS_X), value 129 Event: time 1415565008.498793, type 3 (EV_ABS), code 0 (ABS_X), value 0 Event: time 1415565008.529810, type 3 (EV_ABS), code 0 (ABS_X), value 129 Event: time 1415565008.734837, type 3 (EV_ABS), code 0 (ABS_X), value 130 `jstest` output: [ ~ ] % jstest --event /dev/input/js0| grep 'number 1' Event: type 129, time 72291033, number 1, value 0 ...

Surely I don't need to elaborate on how useless it makes the device. PS: Isn't its time already to get bluez a bugtracker ? It's unbelievable how much bullshit one has to hoop over just to officially complain on it. No wonder that bluez userspace always has been one of most broken, unfinished, unreliable, un-userfriendly pieces of FOSS code ever. Or maybe it's all inherited from Bluetooth® mess of a standard and it's destined to suck.
