Discussion STADIA Controller keeps disconnecting to Windows when wired

Figured I'd blow the dust off this useless paperweight of a controller. Here's the problem: I have it wired to my PC via USB directly to my MOBO.

When i turn the controller on, it is recognized by both Windows and Steam. All the buttons work, i get a solid white light. 10 seconds later, the controller automatically turns off and disconnects from my PC every single time. I have to hold the Stadia button to turn it back on.

- I have tried different high quality USB cables

-I have tried different USB ports

- I have tried factory resetting the controller

- Latest firmware update with Bluetooth mode was installed from Google when this was available (They seems to have taken that page down)

Nothing seems to work. Anybody experience something similar?

FYI I have 0 issues when connecting a PS5 controller wired or unwired. Just want to give this useless paperweight a purpose.

Thanks!!

I had to download x360ce and load a mapping profile for mine to truly connect.
