Module loads on boot:*
echo "hid-g20s" | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/hid-g20s.conf
sudo systemctl restart bluetooth
Problem requires restart bluetooth after first connection to control for work (for example after reboot). Even service on boot not working correctly. For now create desktop shortcut so i can run after reboot.
