Hello, I am having a problem of pairing my bluetooth mouse to my tumbleweed system on my xps 15. The bluetooth wizard does not detect the mouse itself. I have tried using an usb bluetooth adapter and it can pair my bluetooth mouse so the problem is my internal bluetooth adapter.
My internal bluetooth adapter according to lsusb is a Broadcom BCM20703A1 Bluetooth 4.1 + LE
Any help with this is appreciated.

Firmware is installed?
You need the ID for your Firmware, therefore lsusb is recommended.

After digging a bit in dmesg I may found the problem:

The line
46.099133] bluetooth hci1: Direct firmware load for brcm/BCM-0a5c-6410.hcd failed with error -2
indicates that the firmware was not loaded. Does tumbleweed has the firmware required for this chip?
Try this Firmware, rename it to BCM-0a5c-6410.hcd and copy it to /lib/firmware/brcm:
https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/blob/master/brcm/BCM20703A1-0a5c-6410.hcd
Downloaded and copied the firmware file into the directory then reboot my system. After that the bluetooth works including detection and pairing my mouse though it feels a little laggy when moving the cursor.
