I purchased a brand new Xbox wireless controller. It paired with my steam deck easily but it will not connect and the “X” button on the controller keeps flashing. I’ve hit every button on the controller and can’t get it to actually connect. I’ve also rebooted the steam deck.

Any help would be appreciated…

    I’ve got the “Xbox Wireless Controller”, the one that has a little bit of a grippy texture on the handles & the ‘d-pad on a circle’ d-pad

    Just for clarity’s sake since microsoft is insane, this is the Xbox Series X/S controller (model number 1914 unless it is elite controller than it is different model number), not to be confused with the Xbox One controller (last model number was 1708).
