    Nintendo Pro Controller experiencing issues with PC

    I do, however I'm unfortunately being put through the ringer by life atm. Would it be possible to temporarily suspend the thread, then return to it when I have reliable access again in probably a few months?

    No dust nor fluff, and no other devices have this problem (including other controllers). No damage to either, have also tried multiple ports/cables with the same problem on all.

    Nintendo Pro Controller experiencing issues with PC

    Posted 5 days ago elsewhere: I've been using a Pro Controller [on Steam] for about a week now, and previously, all I had to do was connect it via USB cable and I was good to go. I was playing as recently as this morning without any issues. This evening, however, it's not working. The USB port...
