Description
Trying to pair a Joycon(I have tested both of them) will refuse the conection unless I press the sync button(the button on the side of the controller).

Usually you should be able to pair the controller by just pressing any of the regular buttons. This puts the controller in pairing mode and it can be noticed by the array of leds on the side of the controller.

If I remember well on KDE the controller would get paired fine but in Linux Mint the controller starts trying to conect and fail constantly, showing several notifications, I have seen at least 10 notifications of Blueman telling me the controller has been conected/disconeected.

Using the sync button does something different. It connects well but the controllers indicates it's working as a second controller. This continues the more you disconnect and reconnect the controller. It just not able to reconect to the controller on the first position. I don't feel this is how the pairing of this controller work.

I don't really know what kind of debug information you might need but just tell me what should I look for and I will try to recolect it.

Thanks.
