Forgot to list my kernel: 6.7.1-tkg-pds-gentoo-llvm-zen2 (https://github.com/frogging-family/linux-tkg) Have you tried pairing it via upstream bluetoothctl command? I see you monitored it, but did you try to pair directly using it? This highly likely to be an upstream BlueZ issue, as Plasma is just a bunch of glue and plumbing on top. https://github.com/bluez/bluez/issues Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! I thought I did at the time, but I'll try again soon when I have a moment. I meant to respond sooner but I was stranded away from home for a while and I forgot to get back to this once I got back.

new_BRHE-PS4-Controller_bluetoothctl.log
It does seem that it's specifically this controller for me; a while ago I was forced to buy a new controller because of some button and trigger issues (got an official Sony PS4 controller for comparison), and reconnecting (using the controller's "guide" button) after pairing with the official one works as intended but testing the same process with the BRHE one fails to reconnect after disconnecting and using the guide button. What's odd about this to me is that the BRHE controller doesn't fail to reconnect on the Steam Deck (I tested there as well), so this seems isolated to my system somehow. (bluetoothctl version: 5.76)
I take it that this belongs upstream...?
Also forgot to mention my current kernel: 6.8.9-tkg-eevdf-gentoo-llvm-zen2 (https://github.com/frogging-family/linux-tkg) Ah, forget what I said about the BRHE one being able to reconnect on the Steam Deck; I'm tired (01:48 in the morning) and I'm not thinking completely straight at the moment.

Huh, but when I try to pair the official controller via the Plasma bluetooth wizard, it fails... This is really odd.
Can you try pairing your device through command line with bluetoothctl? This will let us know if there's an underlying system problem. Instructions to connect using bluetoothctl: 1. `sudo systemctl restart bluetooth` 2. `bluetoothctl` 3. `scan on` 4. Write down the MAC for the device: `[bluetooth]# [NEW] Device 88:C9:XXXXXX Device-name 5. `connect <MAC>` 6. `quit` Please reply with your results. Thanks. 🐛🧹 ⚠️ This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days. Please provide the requested information, then set the bug status to REPORTED.
