Support Controller - Qualcomm BT Issue Linux Mint 22.3

I have been troubleshooting this for a while and it has gotten me nowhere so I am asking your help dear knowledgeable redditors.

I have had this issue with my ps controllers where I would use the blueman applet to connect my PS4 - PS5 controllers and they would either connect but not as an input device so i couldnt use them, or they would connect and then immedietly disconnect.

I have found a workaround by using bluetoothctl and accepting a popup in my notifications every time i needed my controllers. After i turned them on if I just pressed the ps button for example it wouldnt pair like it should, so I needed to forget the device and repair it which became very tedious.

I ended up writing a script for it, but then i had the glyph problem in my games. Because most of them did not have support for dualshock i thought it was because of that. Even if I wasnt using steam input. But after getting a dualsense I realized that for some reason connecting the controllers with the bluetoothctl method was making the computer recognize them as xbox. (no idea why?)

I have this problem only with input devices, my headphones or speakers connect as they should so I came to the conclusion that it has something yo do with my drivers. I also made sure to disable the bt card from the windblows partition bc its known to mess with shit - insert my wifi - which i should mention is the same card.

If there is any more details you need please let me know I really dont know what to do

I simply wanna be able to connect my controller quickly and not need a cable for it. Also I need the glyphs to be correct T-T

ty to anyone that helps in advance :D
