This doesn't look like Arch Linux.
Archwiki says install windows :)

For this controller to work wirelessly, you need a windows vm for the first pairing, if you are already there, you can update the firmware
Who'd have guessed a Microsoft hardware product works like garbage in Linux.
Actually besides this first pairing it works flawlessly. I remember with windows 10 I met with bugs frequently: the system couldn't see battery level, so it just died after a while, I had to repair after some days of use, I never met any bug with it on Linux, in Gnome settings it correctly reports its battery level.
Yeah, but contrast that with the PS controllers that have an official driver in the kernel written and maintained by Sony employees. It's a world of difference in official support.
I wish.... Very tempting to completely wipe my Xbox and install a Linux distro (Arch obviously) but there's just a few games that I can only get on Xbox, plus the multiplayer aspect of the few remaining local multiplayer games.
