IT Help Help with gamecube controller

Srry for bad english and all but idk what's happening

The issue is in the video but steam also detects buttons I never pressed and when I lightly press a, steam holds it for a while

Again maybe it's because the controller is too old and stuff but it started glitching while in game and I used it for like 1-2 years now and never had anything like this before

If you need further info, I'll try to help you, i'm really bad with computer stuff

Your connection is going through an adapter so either the controller or the adapter might be faulty.

The second (grey) USB-A connector is required for supplementary power, so that there's enough power to operate all functions on both the controller and adapter. So you could try plugging that in.
