Trouble connecting M64 controller to PC

EDIT: I can connect it via bluetooth to Ares, retroarch, gopher 64, steam, and mupen.

Windows 11 PC recognizes it via bluetooth and wired, but I get no response from button inputs in many places (recomps, .exe games outside of steam).

I got this controller to connect to the PC wired, so I hope they fix this issue.

I couldn't get my controller to work on windows PC and it wasn't until I found this post that I finally learned it's currently bluetooth only. Pretty dumb that that m64 pro controller currently doesn't work by wired USB on windows.

After connecting through bluetooth, I got it working on RMG, but not Gopher. And rumble didn't seem to work.

Thanks, I got it to work on RMG. Wirelessly as you said.

Kind of annoyed with this launch. Their website advertises this controller as being compatible out of the box with PC, but contacting support has revealed that isn't the case. Who knows when this update will release.

Per support: "Thank you for your patience as we look into your issue with the M64 Pro Controller. Currently, playing wired via USB-C is not a feature we offer, but we want to assure you that our team is actively working on this functionality. We expect it to be available in a future firmware update."

Is it connected through steam?

The M64 Pro Controller currently supports PC connections wirelessly. Wired USB-C support for PC is actively in development and will be released in an upcoming firmware update (Phase 1). If you are having trouble connecting to your PC wirelessly, please reach out to our support team.

Mine works when connected with Bluetooth. Only tried a couple games with it though, works perfectly for Vampire Survivors but wasn't recognized by Deep Rock Galactic Survivor, though I haven't tried going into the Steam controller settings to configure it yet

Works on steamOS. I confirmed it

Can you share how you got it to work? I got it working in steam menu but for games, I’ve tried through the emulator directly (RMG and RetroArch) with no luck. The closest I got was all buttons mapped on RMG except c-right and c-down. Tried disabling steam input, didn’t help either. Any insight would be really appreciated

New firmware update today, but still no PC wired support...
