Subject: Bluez-plugins and pairing PS3 controller broke bluetooth dongle at
 hardware level

Used this bluetooth dongle (https://mediabridgeproducts.com/?wc-api=WC_Quick_View&product=569) for years with no problem. Yesterday installed bluez-plugins on Arch, which contains a necessary plugin to pair PS3 controllers, then I paired a PS3 controller, and now I can't pair anything except the PS3 controller.

Hear me out, I've tried a Linux live CD, and a Windows computer, on all systems devices just pair then immediately disconnect.

I've checked rfkill, it's not blocked on hardware.

I think it actually broke the bluetooth dongle at a hardware level.
