Hi guys,

I can't get my Switch Pro Controller to pair on RPI 3B+ with RB7.1.1. I press the pairing button on the controller until the LEDs keep moving back and forth like on Knight Rider's KITT.
Then I select "Connect Bluetooth Controller" from the menu, the controller shows up as Pro Controller, i select it, it says "working..." for a long time, then it says "can't connect controller" or something similar.

What I tried:

  • RPI 3B+ internal BT
  • TP-Link UB400 external bt-stick, finds a lot more devices but still doesnt pair with Switch Pro Controller
  • disabled internal bt (dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt), same result as expected, bt-stick seems to work fine
  • disabled bluetooth_ertm in recalbox.conf, same result
  • borrowed RPI4 Board
  • bought a brand new never paired with anything before second Switch Pro Controller, same result

I'm out of ideas I guess... 😕

Thanks for reading, excuse my English, regards from Germany
