Looking in the devices menu in Windows 10, I can clearly see that the Pro Controller goes from "paired" to "connected" and then back to "paired" again when the lights are flashing on the controller after I try to start it up. I believe this is an issue of the Pro Controller (which I prefer over any other controller I have ever used, the thing is damn near perfect except for this) and not something Valve can fix. Right now, whenever I want to use the Procon, I have to delete it from the devices in the control panel and re-pair it with my PC, as that's the only time steam seems to interface with it properly.įor years I have used both a PS3 and a PS4 controller, and pairing via bluetooth using it wirelessly (PS3 required third party software and some configuration) has worked flawlessly.
#INOTEBOOK WONT STAY CONNECTED VIA BLUETOOTH DRIVER#
Never had any kind of wonky controller driver software, just plain steam. Also I have a PS4 controller that connects and reconnects through bluetooth alright as well.


Even worse, if I attempt to reconnect the controller while in big picture mode, it causes steam to crash completely.Ĭonnecting through USB works fine. While the controller attempts to reconnect the steam client freezes, and only unfreezes when the controller gives up (the controller does appear as "connected" during this period in the control panel). However after turning off the controller/PC and attempting to reconnect later, it never does. When I tried playing on PC the first time I paired it through bluetooth, windows started "setting it up", steam quickly detected it and everything went fine. Recently bought myself a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller for use with my switch and PC.
