Over the last few days I’ve had issues connecting my SN30 controller. It seems to connect (the paired light is on on the controller, and Steam recognises it) but none of the inputs are recognised.

Weirdly enough this only seems to be the case whilst it’s docked. Undocked, the Deck lets me use it as normal. I’ve tried both the Xbox and Switch pairing modes on the controller, with the same result.

I just tried pairing a regular Pro controller and it worked perfectly. So the issue seems to specifically be with the SN30. Has anyone else had issues, or do you have any suggestions to fix this?

*Edit: Updating the controller firmware has fixed this it seems! Over the last few days it has connected to my Steam Deck straight away, and also now seems to know when the Deck has been turned off which is cool, and subsequently turns itself off. I’m using the Xbox connection method.

    Yes I have this issue sometimes When it happens, I just shut down the controller, then connected it again and it works.

      Yeah I used to be able to get it to work on the second connection. But now even that isn’t working.
