I told him I would just uninstall it, but then he pressed me again as to why I’m using this application and then straight up said, ‘Is this so your computer doesn’t fall asleep?'” the post reads. “He asked me if I had a business purpose for this and I was at a loss for words.

It's also important to note that you need to check the box to delete the drivers as well, if you don't, Windows reinstalls the faulty ones I had the same issue, but I solved it in a slightly different way. I know it's quite the steps.Īnyway, this is getting long - the VirtualHere USB solution I've been using for probably a year so I don't necessarily think that is what caused this issue.

Why do this? The connection is spot on vs keeping the dongle in my PC in multiple rooms away - just isn't feasible. From there I hook into my PC with my Quest 2, enable VirtualHere USB to send the Steam Controller inputs over to my desktop. Example: My PC is in my room, I go out to the living room, I've got a Raspberry Pi so I connect the dongle to the Pi, I've got an Oculus Quest 2 that I like to use Virtual Desktop into for a giant screen. Could that be the culprit? If someone doesn't know what that is it emulates and sends over USB data over to whomever is the host. I've recently messed around with a program called VirtualHere USB. It's driving me insane on why it's not working/picking up on my desktop. Furthermore, when I tried to just use the laptop without Steam Remote Play and just play a game/navigate the menus with the dongle/bluetooth/hardwire everything works just fine. What about a laptop? I've done the same setup on a laptop of mine just fine and everything worked. I'll hook the controller up to the phone, start up Steam Remote Play, goes over to my desktop, and I can see Steam recognizes the controller just fine. Now, does it work on another device? It works fine when I use Steam Remote Play via my phone. The hardware is detected in all three available forms: Steam dongle, bluetooth, and hardware all detect and I can use the controller but it's lizard mode and Steam says there is no available controller detected. Again, the problem here seemingly is with Steam and nothing else. I've tried disabling/re-enabling just about everything in the device manager in hopes that would fix whatever the issue is but it persists :-/. When I went into my devices to see if there was something going on that shouldn't be or maybe something that isn't being detected I couldn't find anything. it just doesn't show up and continues to say that there is no controller available. When I go into Big Picture to try to get the controller paired, make it detect it, etc. All of these methods do work but the controller stays in 'Lizard' mode. I've also tried to connect via a hardwire connection via Micro-USB.

I've reinstalled the firmware associated with the controller and re-enabled Bluetooth capabilities and that works and shows up. Anyway, Steam seems to always say that there is no controller detected when either I have the dongle in a USB port (tried 2.0/3.0).

Let me know and or post this over in the Techincal Support/Troubleshooting category if necessary but I've been using my Steam Controller for years now and is my go to when it comes to most games - especially isometric RPG's.
