I've been using my xbox controller through bluetooth with no problems for a while, until recently earlier this week. One day, the controller succesfully connected as usual but the input device was not recognized at all. No inputs are detected, the controller connects and disconects just fine. Repairing the device solves the issue, but rebooting makes the issue come back. I've seen that, when the controller is connected but the input is not working, there is no jsX device at /dev/input. In case it helps, it happens with two different Xbox Series X/S controllers. Any hints on what might this be? Thanks.

After checking the logs I've noticed how the message is different when (1) the device has just been paired and (2) the device is connected after a reboot.
(1)
pair and connect

The log suggests this might be an encryption problem? Any ideas?

After a lot of research, I managed to find a workaround fix. This is what did it for me:
1.- Install blueman.
2.- Pair controller through blueman.
3.- Set as trusted.
4.- Set as input/audio device.
5.- Done, removing blueman after this is fine.
This doesn't answer what caused this issue. This post gave me the solution: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=290026.
