Hello! I'm the maintainer of the xpadneo driver for Xbox controllers in Bluetooth mode. I'm currently testing two different models of the controllers: Xbox One S (model 1708) Xbox Elite Series 2 (model 1797) With commit 98d2c3e17310 ("Bluetooth: L2CAP: Try harder to accept device not knowing options") we can finally connect the controllers without disabling ERTM. Without the patch, all the controllers will fail to connect most of the time if not always. Here's what works since ERTM can stay enabled: With ERTM enabled, the controllers no longer crash in their firmware when sending rumble packets at specific varying rates. Previously, the controller tended to stop sending back input data, eventually rebooting after some time (but not always). Some history / context about the problems (with ERTM disabled): That looks like a crash or race condition in the firmware. The results looked pretty random but consistently between kernel or Bluez versions so it probably depends on some implementation detail: Sometimes the controller would stop sending any input data, sometimes at least one axis still worked, sometimes rumble would still work, or any combination of those. This problem does not seem to exist when using the Android bluetooth stack (fluoride?) - tho I didn't really test it there extensively. At least in Android, the controllers establish the Bluetooth connection instantly while in Linux, it may take up to 30 seconds to establish the connection / pairing. Often, it would not exchange the link key, resulting in pairing failing (but still able to connect manually with `bluetoothctl connect MAC`). But finally, this seems fixed when we enable ERTM after the patch referenced above is applied. Now let's get to the core of this report (after applying the above referenced patch, and enabling ERTM): >From all what I could test, model 1708 works correctly now with some quirks: It may take some time / effort pairing the controller. Usually, it works fine using the KDE GUI client for pairing while it doesn't using `bluetoothctl` alone. I'm not sure why that is but once it's paired (with a link key in `/var/lib/bluetooth`, it reconnects fine in later attempts, tho it may take 20-30s to do that. After this, the gamepad runs just fine in games, rumble works flawlessly, no input lag, no loss of input data. Good work. Model 1797 is a different story: This model now connects instantly, this is a success. Previously, it would show the same behavior as model 1708, often taking 20-30s to connect, or failing every once in a while, often even losing the connection again after being connected for a few seconds. But now I'm seeing the following odd behavior: When running `btmon`, I see a constant flow of input data while moving the sticks in a circle (thus generating a constant stream of input events). Now, when a nearby device starts some inquiry, the gamepad stops sending any data until some time after the inquiry is done. Some of the last events then get sent back resembling the current state of the device as if the gamepad flushed some buffers. Often, that's exactly three input state buffers if you put the gamepad idle on your desk while the inquiry is running. This observation is repeatable. Also, during gaming, I may have seen issues where input events of the device may lag behind several seconds, however, I'm not sure if this was caused by a nearby device as I didn't log any data with `btmon` (neither I could associate that on a timeline with lagging events in the game). Here's a (rather lengthy) btmon log of such an incident (packets starting with `a1 01` are input event packets from the controller, part of the constant stream of input data I generated using the sticks): ``` ...

is received roughly around every 0.01s (which seems to be some internal heartbeat of the firmware, around 100 Hz, which matches with the maximum rate of rumble programming we may send to the controller without crashing it). But when the C4:57:6E device starts to show up in the log, the controller pauses sending any more data for multiple seconds. This behavior cannot be observed when connected to an Android device so we probably cannot say that this is a bug of the gamepad firmware (tho, it still has a lot of quirks I'd consider a bug). Windows users may report similar problems, tho there's no indication of it being the same problem as there are no logs provided: https://answers.microsoft.com/de-de/xbox/forum/xba_wowpc-xba_gowpc/xbox-elite-series-2-disconnecting-from-pc/7e5a964a-16cc-4e83-8dec-aa8c858b875c I've linked some more reports in the xpadneo project: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/issues/198 I'd happily provide more data / details to debug this.
