generic ps4 controller support

Good Evening everyone,

I am having issues pairing and getting Bluetooth to pair and correctly assign a wireless game controller on my generic ps4 controllers.

I have 2 ps4 (genuine) controllers and they work normal.

The 2 ps4 knock off controllers are recognized as wireless controllers but the controller LED doesn't change color like my geniune ps4 controllers do.

The knock off controllers LED lights do pair and stay solid white with ONLY blueman-manger. The regular bluetooth KDE gui sees the controller and then fails connecting.

All 4 controllers pair normally using Ubuntu which is really frustrating.

Fedora 39 )nobara), replicates the same experience as in Arch.

Re: generic ps4 controller support

Try the TUI (so no frontends): https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth

on the knock-off ones: only the leds don't work?
Can you find them in '/sys/class/leds'?
