      Try as I might, I can't get the model 1914 series X controller to connect to my raspberry pi.
      Model: Raspberry pi 4 (4GB)
      OS: Retropie 4.8 (installed via Rasp Pi Imager)
      I added the xpadneo driver using the retropie drivers section, and rebooted the system. Controller firmware is updated to the latest. I use the GUI to scan for bluetooth devices, and see the Xbox controller. It asks for the security mode, and I select DisplayYesNo. But then it comes back with "Authentication Cancelled". I try other modes, and they all do the same thing.

      Is there anything else that I should be doing to get this working?

        Hopefully, someone that was able to connect these will chime in here. I have the same problem, seems like I was able to connect them through bluetoothctl in the OS (got success message and the rumble from the controller), but nothing I can do to connect with RetroPie and have them usable.
