Bug Description
Stock Debian/Ubuntu Bluez only supports Sony brand PS3 controllers; not off-brand/
HOWEVER, BlueZ HAS been patched to work with knockoff PS3 controllers: https:/
The maintainers of BlueZ (even Ubuntu's maintainers) are extremely reluctant to update their code with patches; it took years for them to add even basic PS3 controller support. It is safe to assume that off-brand PS3 controller support will not be added to mainline BlueZ in the forseeable future. The developers of OpenELEC.tv and Lakka are both patching BlueZ before distribution.
It would be an incredible boon and edge to Linux Mint to roll out BlueZ packages patched with this patchset: https:/
