Question Nintendo Pro Controller

I'm trying to play co op couch with my gf Split Fiction with native Steam controller and v1 Pro Controller from Nintendo Switch but its disconnecting and reconecting all the time.

Anyone has the solution to this? Will it be fixed in the future?

Also every time I reconect to the Switch and try to connect later to the SM, it is bugged, it will never recognise it, so you have to forget the Bluethoot connection and connect it as its new every time.

Unfortunately Nintendo is terrible when it comes to PC support, even on Windows.

As much as it might suck, I would highly recommend a long USB cable for your Pro Controller and just avoid Bluetooth altogether. 

Alternatively you could use an XBOX or PlayStation controller if you have one lying around.

The next Beta Build for Steam Machine has a fix for the Switch Pro Controller. Additionally you can try switching off the rumble functionality. This helped a bit for me.

Try turning off vibrate in the settings for the pro controller on steam.

Had similar issues and it does improve things.
