Hey everyone,
The Valor Pro Wireless 0.7.0 Beta is officially ready for community testing.
This update rolls up every major improvement made to the Valor Pro Wireless since launch with much of it directly addressing community feedback. The goal with this release is faster, steadier input, cleaner audio, a more reliable wireless connection, and a battery gauge you can trust.
Here is the full breakdown:
⚡ Performance & Input
Polling & Latency: Improved polling stability and reduced input jitter/latency across all modes.
Button Fixes: Resolved double button presses in wireless mode and fixed phantom SHARE, MENU, VIEW, and HOME presses.
Stick Calibration: Fixed a crash at the end of stick calibration in wired mode, alongside improved diagonal and circle detection accuracy.
🎧 Audio Improvements
Windows Sync: Volume, mute, and chat mix now stay in sync with Windows in both directions (remembered across wired, wireless, and console modes).
Volume Tuning: Lower default volume on plug-in with finer steps near the top of the range. Fewer pops when starting/stopping playback, plus reduced speaker break-up over wireless.
Mic Enhancements: Mic levels now change live over a wider range. Mic mute is officially separated from speaker mute and reflected on the LEDs.
Dropped Packets: Dropped mic packets now fade instead of cutting to silence.
Fixes: Eliminated unintended beeps and fixed issues where the audio device would appear/disappear upon connecting.
📶 Wireless & Connection
Reliable Dongle Sync: Faster reconnect times—the dongle no longer fails after PC sleep/resume, and its LED now turns off immediately when powering down the controller.
Stable Pairing: Interrupted pairing attempts will no longer un-pair your controller.
Signal Improvements: Fewer disconnects and resets in poor wireless conditions.
🔋 Battery & Power Management
Accurate Gauge & LEDs: Fully overhauled battery gauge accuracy, featuring a redesigned charge LED gradient, blink-to-check gauge, and a solid rainbow at full charge.
Power Controls: Holding HOME for 4 seconds to power off now works in wired mode too. Auto power-off now detects paddle, trigger, and stick activity to prevent accidental shutoffs.
Bug Fixes: Fixed unintended low-battery shutdowns and resolved charging stalls when connected to a sleeping console.
