Hi folks,

I got a new Xbox Series X Controller (Model 1914). I had Xbox One controller before.

With xpadneo installed I had basically no problems running my xbox one controller. It connected via BT with no issues and workes in games really well wired and wireless.

The new controller on the other hand, works really well via cable, but does not connect via BT. I can find it, I can pair it, but I cannot connect to it.

xpadneo readme says Series X needs a BT stick with BLE so I bought one, but that did not solve the problem (I'm not sure if BLE needs to be activated or how to do it rn).

I had this exact issue, Xbox controller needs a firmware update. Unfortunately the only way I know how to do that is via windows and the god awful Xbox app. Hope this helps!

    also solved this by updating the controller firmware but yeah, you have to do that on windows unfortunately

    I am using xone i think one solution i found was reinstalling the packages in hopes of it working. About BLE, you should not have to activate it manually BLE stands for Bluetooth low energy and is build on the Bluetooth protocol and theoretically it should be able to Connecticut to devices via BLE or just Bluetooth
