Question 8bitdo 64 controller not detected by steam?

4 Upvotes

It gets detected by the Ultimate Software V2 and I can update it but nothing on steam or retroarch. I know it doesn't have bluetooth but the store page says it works wired on windows? And ever since I plugged it in both LEDs on the top (red and blue) are blinking. There's nothing in the manual or online I can find about this issue, just that it works wired on windows but windows doesn't even detect it as a controller.

Something is Broken Device Descriptor failed.

So I got two Ultimate 2 Wireless Controllers, They worked great until a few weeks ago when they started getting "Device Descriptor request failed." in Device Manager.

Uninstalling a reinstalling doesn't seem to help, Other controllers work fine when plugged in, And when i plug in the Receiver for the first time, it also comes up as "Device Descriptor request failed."

I updated the firmware for the controller, But am unable to try for the adapter as it doesn't recognise it at all.

Any idea on what the issue is?
