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…

    Used a Windows PC (not VM), installed the “Xbox accessory” app from the Microsoft store and it updated the controller firmware. It works perfectly with Steam Deck now.

    Thanks everyone for your assistance.
