Hello,

I purchased two Stadia controllers to connect with my Stream Deck via Bluetooth. While one functions as expected, the other presents an issue.

Here's the sequence of events:

  • Initially paired the controller with the Stream Deck, and it worked.
  • Turned off the Stream Deck and turned it back on.
  • Unable to connect the controller to the Stream Deck, both automatically and manually.
  • Only after removing the second controller from the Bluetooth devices, I can pair it again (and it works until I suspend the Deck again).

Does anyone have any insights into what might have gone wrong? The other controller is functioning correctly, leading me to suspect an issue with the second controller.

I have a bunch of stadia controllers, sometimes individual ones won't connect unless I toggle the deck's Bluetooth off and on again.

Thanks for the suggestion, after switching Bluetooth off and on again, both controllers are able to connect again. This is at lot faster than removing and pairing.

Still unclear to me why this happens. Does anyone have this problem with other (non-stadia) controllers too?

This happens to me with Xbox controllers randomly. 90% of the time they work, but then I randomly need to re-pair, reboot the Deck, toggle Bluetooth (any of these make it work again), or grab a different controller.
