I've never been able to get my PS5 controller working properly on my main PC, which is an Arch system. So, when I got my Steam Deck I just went with an Xbox controller. It's not a solution to your specific issue, but I haven't had any issues with this setup.
I’m running DualSense on Arch without issues. It even uses the touch pad for mouse movements when not in-game (Steam).
Make sure to check the docs if you aren’t using Gnome: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamepad.
My only complaint is the atrocious battery life, but that’s not a Linux issue.
I'm on Plasma, my issue has always been getting the Bluetooth to function properly. bluez-util just won't sync with it consistently.
Had the same issue on newer versions of bluez-utils. Downgrading it to 5.6x fixed my issues.
Thanks, gonna check it out.
