Have you upgraded the firmware on the controller? I had basically the same problem and I needed to update the firmware.
this right here. it's dumb as fuck, but has resolved 100% of my issues.
good luck getting it updated though, I had to use a windows VM and pass the USB through.
Yup I had to borrow my wife’s work laptop it’s a real pain.
Thanks! I'll see if I can find a windows machine and give it a try. I can't pass it through to the windows VM I keep around, since it doesn't show up as a USB device at all.
I'm doubtful that it's the same issue with the firmware as it doesn't show up as a usb-device when connected via cable. I don't think you can update the firmware without usb-connection.
Have you tried another usb-cable? What make and model is your bluetooth adapter? Clone adapters have huge amount of problems and USB-cables can break or be only for charging having no leads for data.
Is the controller original or 3rd party / clone?
Edit: I managed to just now notice that you actually wrote that the Bluetooth somewhat works.
