I purchased a brand new Xbox wireless controller. It paired with my steam deck easily but it will not connect and the "X" button on the controller keeps flashing. I've hit every button on the controller and can't get it to actually connect. I've also rebooted the steam deck.

Any help would be appreciated...

Update the controller firmware.

I've got the "Xbox Wireless Controller", the one that has a little bit of a grippy texture on the handles & the 'd-pad on a circle' d-pad. And I was seeing the same thing before updating the FW ~a year (maybe even two?) ago.

Unfortunately, doing that requires a Windows PC or an Xbox.

This actually will also give you the ability to pair it to multiple hosts.
