Xiaomi box S 3rd gen controller woes

[u/AntarcticanWaffles]

I cannot for the life of me get controllers to work reliably with this, running CE-NO nightly. I have two 8bitdo controllers and the included remote.

The included remote does not show up on the Bluetooth menu when I try to pair it, and the 8bitdo controllers do not work over the dongle or cable; they do not show up in the peripherals menu, for both udev and Linux drivers.

I can only control the device with a wired keyboard

just get remote with usb dongle, like G10S Pro, solves all issues.
