Fusion 2023 Tech Preview: BT Controller not recognized in Win11

suisse2k — Mon, 11 Sep 2023 11:26:37 GMT

Trying to get my xbox controller already paired in MacOS Ventura detected in Win11 Arm.

Would that ever work?

Via USB it's working fine.

Thx

Bluetooth device support is limited in Fusion. See https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Fusion/13/com.vmware.fusion.using.doc/GUID-9C42F404-F254-4E42-A5A7-2876B408FBB1.html

In particular, the docs state that Bluetooth HID (human input devices) are not supported for Windows guests. Since the controller may be considered an HID device, that might explain why the VM can’t see it.

The best option is to get a USB bluetooth controller, attach that to windows, then connect the device to it. BlueTooth passthrough is very limited.
