Hi.
A couple of months ago, it became impossible to connect via Bluetooth my Wii U Pro controller.
I know the issue is caused by an update because, at the time, I tried on another Linux computer and it worked. Then I updated this computer and it stopped working.

I use ArchLinux with the kernel 5.11.2.

Whenever I try connecting this controller, I get the following error in journalctl:

Code: 
profiles/input/device.c:ioctl_is_connected() Can't get HIDP connection info
profiles/input/device.c:control_connect_cb() connect to 9C:E6:35:0A:76:43: Permission denied (13)

In `bluetoothctl`, I see the following:

Code: 
[bluetooth]# connect 9C:E6:35:0A:76:43
Attempting to connect to 9C:E6:35:0A:76:43
[CHG] Device 9C:E6:35:0A:76:43 Connected: yes
Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed
[CHG] Device 9C:E6:35:0A:76:43 Connected: no

More logs from `btmon`:

What can I do to fix this issue?

Thanks.

When I do that, it asks me for a PIN. I tried 0000, 1234 and 1111 but those don't work.

After that, I tried again in the GUI (blueman-manager) and it works.
Let's see if that still works and, if so, I'll mark this thread as Solved.

Thanks.
 
I've resolved my issue:
for some weird reasons, I cannot connect the controller when it is paired. So, I had to remove it and not pair it.
