      • Pi Model or other hardware: Pi 4 8GB Model B with 1.5GHz 64-bit quad-core CPU (8GB RAM)
      • Power Supply used: EADP-30NB 5V/6A
      • RetroPie Version Used : 4.7.19
      • Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
      • USB Devices connected: Bluetooth CSR4.0 USB Dongle
      • Controller used:
        Xbox One Wireless Controller (Model 1708) x 1
        PS3 Controller (CECHZC2T) x 2
      • Guide used:
        /boot/config.txt
        dtoverlay=disable-wifi
        dtoverlay=disable-bt

      When I use internal bluetooth, three controllers could be paired.
      Sometimes the xbox controller would disconnect and connect again, so I bought a bluetooth dongle.
      But it could only pair at most two controllers like two ps3 controllers or one xbox controller and one ps3 controller.
      I use cmd "bluetoothctl" to try forcing connect to controller, but the another controller would disconnect as below.
