Return-Path: From: Nicolas Werner To: linux-bluetooth@vger.kernel.org Subject: [RFC][PATCH BlueZ] sixaxis: Differing device name between usb and bluetooth connection Date: Sat, 04 Feb 2017 19:16:28 +0100 Message-ID: <2299304.XBxEXHNB4J@gentooasus> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: linux-bluetooth-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: BlueZ sets the device name of Dual Shock 3 controller to "PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller". When you connect the same controller via USB it is set to "Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller". It seems that at least some games fail to recognize the controller as a Dual Shock 3/sixaxis controller and don't load the default mapping for PlayStation controllers, if the name doesn't contain the Sony part. Also I don't see a reason to use a different name, when connecting via Bluetooth. I noticed this with "The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth" and it seems, that Steam also recognizes the controller better after the patch, although I'm not confident, if I can parse the controller configuration dialog correctly. I don't know, if this breaks anything, because it depends on the current name. The attached patch changes the device name set when pairing to match the device name, when connected via USB.
