That's quite wierd, since pairing the controller is done in the background, without any help from the keyboard.

I can't reproduce this - are you pairing the controller first, without connecting it via USB ? Note that the PS4 pairing is different than PS3, it doesn't need an USB connection, you just put the PS4 controller into pairing mode and then add it via the Bluetooth menu from RetroPie-Setup.

is with no usb connection , it does find it on the bluetooth config and i can move in the config .
but the sec' i quit the config, the dualsuck 4 bluetooth is gone.
i did rest and tons of fix i found but nothing.
yes with just a cable it does works (and the battery if full or enough at list )
:(:(:(

i do have a ps3 control connect bluetooth that that works prefect

How are you putting the PS4 controller into pairing mode ? Is the controller paired to another device ?
