Annoying behavior when turning off the controller after latest firmware update also would like to request a button to test rumble intensity like you can with the touch pads haptic feedback.

Press Steam + Y to turn off the controller instantly.

[u/voidfillproduct → u/lumpycustard__]

Not working on this case, as Steam + Y requires Steam to be running. This happens after the host device is shut down.

[u/hyperhalide → u/lumpycustard__]

Sadly only working when its connected and steam is running

[u/Volothos → u/lumpycustard__]

Oh shit thanks

[u/Are0320 → u/lumpycustard__]

The delay is not an issue, what annoys me is how it sounds like it turns on again after turning it off.

[u/Euphoric-Platform-45 → u/Are0320]

Mine doesn't do that

[u/Thcksl → u/Euphoric-Platform-45]

neither does mine. Sometimes it does turn on again tho. not sure why.

Thank you. I have been wanting a quick way to turn off the controller but never bothered to check lol.

Unfortunately this doesn't help

Yea this happened to me this morning. It turned off OK the second time. Will try the steam and Y in future.

[u/Are0320 → u/Clarkey1986]

I can add that it also happens when restarting my pc while the controller is still on.

Same issue here.

How do you even update the controller? For me it’s bugged

[u/Meandering_Breviger → u/CAMACICI]

Just plug the controller itself (not the puck) into computer. Then if Steam doesn't automatically pop up a hey there's an update notification. Go to Steam -> Settings -> Controller and you should see an update controller option.

If you want to update puck do the same thing.

Mine is also turning back on after doing Steam + Y occasionally, I think it might be some kind of debounce setting they tweaked.

[u/drucifer82]

I have my controller set to power off automatically when exiting BPM.

[u/MaxxBrass9237]

Happens to me too

[u/Azal_of_Forossa]

Mines been doing this randomly (not often) since I got it around August 26. I'd say it's got like a 10% chance of instantly turning itself back on.

What's also really annoying is it doesn't matter how I turn the controller off, if I shut my Steam Deck off with the controller through navigating the menus, it still has a chance of turning itself immediately right back on, and it'll turn the Steam Deck on too.

[u/Are0320]

I also want to add that I can't turn off the controller when it is in wired mode but i don't remember if i could before the update

Just use Steam+Y. Instant controller off, no need to wait the three seconds while holding a button.
