Controller stuck in adding/removing loop

Submitted by tn-2-wan on #1

In an attempt to get my controller's (GameSir T4 Cyclone Pro) rumble working over Moonlight on my Steam Deck, I parsed through a few online posts of other users struggling with the issue and finding some success with VirtualHere. I was able to get the server (Linux) running on the Deck and the client connected on my PC (Windows). However when I choose to use my controller (dongle) it gets stuck in a loop of being in use and being removed. Anyone know what may be causing this or workarounds to this issue?

Are you familiar with linux a bit? If so 

stop the virtualhere server like this

systemctl stop virtualhere

edit /usr/local/etc/virtualhere/config.ini

Add the line

onReset=

then save the config.ini file

restart the virtualhere server like this

systemctl start virtualhere

then try using it again via virtualhere. 

Does that help?

Unfortunately still stuck in the loop. My controller also no longer pairs to my dongle.

In my case, the only thing that fixed the stubborn disconnect/connect loop with one device was to connect it not directly but through a USB hub (in my case an unpowered one). This post made me think to try this, maybe it'll help in your case, too.
