Generic Gamepad

Hello, I am new to Linux distributions, I have 2 machenike g5 pro gamepads and I would like to use them with my PC, I installed bazzite on my main PC but although these controllers work perfectly in Windows, in Linux I have many problems, the vibration does not work if I connect them via bluetooth, mapping them in steam they work fine but the vibration does not work in any way, I would like to know if it is a problem with the controllers themselves since I am thinking of buying an official xbox one but I don't want to leave these gamepads alone because of that problem. I tried multiple methods that appeared online, but none of them worked. my english so bad and used traductor

@Too Many Controllers didnt you have one of these, does it have an xinput mode?
Too Many Controllers
i have a g5 pro, im in bed, remind me in 18 hours Remind me in 10-11 hours nobody reminded me i tried mine, this seems to be a limitation on the g5 pro end yeah in every mode its limited to no rumble over BT on bazzite i dont know why but it defaults to dinput for some odd reason

I read that since the control can work on TV, when you connect it to Linux it connects as if it were to the TV and that makes it not work correctly, however yesterday I managed to get it to work in Bluetooth mode but there is no vibration, although I like them I think that if you can't do the controllers, I'll have to buy a new Xbox Series gamepad
Too Many Controllers
yeah this is very weird ive seen this happen with some controller over USB but never over bluetooth
