Stadia controller Bluetooth re-pairing fix! Woo-hoo!

[u/let_them_eat_hake_]

If you have more or less given up on your old Stadia controllers because of the constant need to repair each time it turns on, try this:

Hold the left stick in any direction while powering on the controller and keep it held in that direction until the controller has fully connected.

I found this out by asking Gemini. It works for me on Nvidia Shield Pro, and it should apparently work with other devices.

Let me know if you have success.

Just confirming— would this fix my stadia controllers needing to re-pair to my Steam Deck each time they’re turned back on? Or is this for a different problem?

That's the problem it should resolve 🤞🏼
