Gaming with google stadia controller on Linux (feddit.de)

Hello Guys I resently bought a google stadia controller used for 15€ with the bluetooth firmware enabled

The only problem I have with it is support on the distros I dailydrive Arch I followed the arch wiki but there was a lot missing about this controller. The only distro I found to work out of the box was nobara

I search a bit in the preinstalled packages and the only few outlier i found were Networkmanager from the fedora-update repo and nobara-controller-config from the nobara-baseos repo

Does anyone have a idear how I could get the contoller to work on my Arch installed? It is possiable to archive this on arch because I saw other people get it to work on the steam deck what runs a arch based os

I would appreciate any help

Maybe look into https://www.github.com/medusalix/xone there's also some useful links in there. But afaik Bluetooth controllers have pretty bad latency on Linux

so i found somehow this project what seems to work on supporting the controller https://github.com/ndeadly/MissionControl/issues/568

I also found this artikel over at phoronix that the rumble support will be added in kernel version 6.6 https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.6-Stadia-Controller-FF
