I have a pair of cheap sixaxis playstation3 controllers that I can’t get to pair up with my dongle. I have a Pi2 and a CSR 4.0 dongle.

Now I have heard that not all dongles work with the Pi. Is this the same for playstation controllers?

When the controller is plugged in to USB and I run sixpair I get something similar to this:

Current Bluetooth master: DE:AD:BE:EF:00:00
Setting master bd_addr to: DE:AD:BE:EF:00:00

Both addresses are the same, so they should be paired.

when I use cd /dev/input/
ls

js0 shows up.

When I unplug from usb, js0 goes away, controller will not pair.

after reboot still not pairing.

any help?
