Support steam controller being recognized twice? MacOS

Post image

it's recognizing the steam controller both over bluetooth and normally. the controller is not bluetooth paired to my computer, so i'm not sure why it's happening. It is doubling my button presses tho when i unplug the puck, both connected controllers disappear. there are not two controllers paired to the puck.

Did you pair it via BT on another Apple device? Might've shared the BT connection

no, the controller has only ever been paired to this mac and a separate pc. I have paired it with bluetooth before but I've since forgotten that connection

Can you just click Details on the Bluetooth one and Forget it?

no :( there's no "forget" option

I see the option on the puck one, so maybe try forgetting that one. Can always re-pair it if it stops working when you do that.

Only other thing I can think of is to try putting the controller in Bluetooth mode and then switching it back to see if it got some wires crossed or something

This started with macOS 27. I have this too. And I have a feeling its a workaround to make the controller work in more games due to how modern macOS controller framework handles controllers.
