I posted this on the Linux mint forums a while ago, but no traffic on the post and it's driving me crazy.

Problem: I can connect the controllers just fine via Bluetooth, but yuzu and dolphin don't recognize them unless I've deleted them from blueman and freshly re-paired them. More details abd system info in the forum post, but this is the gist. Does anybody have any insight? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My input isn't going to be very useful but as a point of data, I've never had trouble with my 8bitdo controllers and Linux.
Sometimes they don't pair right away on the Switch, but Linux has been fine.
Now I'm trying to remember which controller I used to test Yuzu...

Weird as it is, I've heard launching games through Steam Big Picture mode with the controller connected can help but that might just be more a key mapping thing than anything else.
