dualshock 4 on Arch (lemmy.world)

I can't get my DualShock 4 controllers to work on Arch without ds4drv. I am pretty sure this method isn't required anymore, because the dualshock 4 work just fine on NixOS. What am I missing? Do I need to load modules? Specific kernel or Bluetooth package? I am running the latest zen kernel with Nvidia. Same hardware as my old NixOS.

I don't really play on my computer, so never tried it, but have you checked the Arch wiki? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamepad Does it help?

I have all the modules and software needed. I will look up the bluez version and compile flags/patches that NixOS uses
