I tried both way. No chance. I would like to delete the known devices and start the pairing fresh. maybe that works

They are both definitly shawan. Checken that via dmesg and usb connection. They worked before. When I try to pair (root > usb connect > dmesg > unplug > pair button on controller > dmesg) there is the following error message: can't add hid device -32 probe of 1-1.5:1.0 failed with error can't set operational mode   one ist still working and pairing works easy. a look in to etc/var?/bin/bluetooth reveals one folder with the adress: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx any ideas?

I've also a Bluetooth Connection Problem a would like to reset the recalbox Connection Data. Is there a way to do it manualy?

Yes, got it. That was the problem. They worked for some time. But now just one of the controller is working and the other one is just trying to pair but without any luck. What can I do in raspbian to check where the problem is? hcitools dev? some test for the dongle?

I tried that and it does not work. It is blinking fast but after that there is no reaction to controller inputs.

I´ve bought another two bluetooh dongle: CSL - USB nano Bluetooth-Adapter V4.0 <span style="color: #0066c0; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Trust BT-2400p</span> and it is still noch working. I can even found them in Rasbian!? This is anoying as hell. Any help?

Hi folks, first of all. sorry no free beer. but I can imagine that this topic is getting boring. I am reading now for 4 days straight to get the ultimate rasp pi  with retro gaming working. The PS3 Controller is now my Endboss. I´ve got: Noobs, recalbox, respbian and two PS3 wireless Dualshock 3 - SixAxis (CECHZC2E A1) The bluetooth dongle is: tinxi Bluetooth 4.0 USB Adapter V4.0 On the dongle is written CSR 4.0. A similar one is listed in the Compatibility List as not working. BUT. When checked via hcitool scan the dongle can a least find the imac. But no Controller. I already ordered another one from the list and cross my fingers. Love what you do here and looking forward to any tips or recommendations.
