I have mine still, dongle too, but it started constantly dropping the connection to the Steam Deck and I can’t figure out why.
Maybe this is how it dies, not with a bang but with a whimper.
Firmware up to date? I have no issues with mine although the range on the dongle is pretty weak which did cause it to drop connection but it went away completely after running a USB extension cable from my Deck’s dock so the dongle is closer to me when I’m sat on the sofa.
Thanks for the tip. I think I just assumed the firmware was up-to-date when I dusted it off and connected it to the Deck last year.
But I looked into it, found the batch file script that’s out there now that Valve doesn’t support firmware updates directly anymore, and ran the last firmware on it.
I have been trying it out and so far so good. Thanks again!
I have this issue too it's from the board being dropped a lot / age. I bought an extra used controller and some 3d printed replacement shoulders and I've been able to fix them pretty well. Unfortunately there is no way to fix the board I wasn't able to discern any kind of issue with the parts but I don't have voltage schematic to figure out what might have went bad I suspect a capacitor or something. I still use them every day though they are great. I hate the new steam interface though cause they dropped a lot of advanced features
Seems like it may have been the firmware after all. I updated it and it seems to maintain a consistent connection now.
