I've had consistently good experiences with USB dongles like gulikit for example.

Yeah, at this rate I'm probably just going to get a USB wireless adapter since it's not playing nice with my bluetooth
If it makes you feel any better I had to install windows because my dad refuses to use his phone to print anything.
Have you added these lines to /etc/bluetooth/main.conf under [General]
? This stack exchange answer says it's required:
Privacy = device
JustWorksRepairing = always
Class = 0x000100
FastConnectable = true
Yeah, I tried that. Didn't make a difference, unfortunately.
Double check your model number on your controller. It’s possible you ended up with one that doesn’t have Bluetooth. That happened with me and I had to swap which controller I was using with my Xbox and which one I was using with my computer.
He said he could connect to windows and fedora thru bluetooth.
I was having the same problem last night trying to connect an controller thru bluetoothctl on Mint.
Missed that line. Read too fast.
It has bluetooth. I'm able to connect it to bluetooth on Windows 10 with the same computer and was able to connect it to a Fedora 39 KDE laptop via bluetooth, as well.
I suspect the issue is the Linux driver for the MediaTek MT7921K or the bluetooth configuration on my arch linux system needs to be adjusted somehow
