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.
Current updates:
Using a different cord (I'm short on USB-C cords, unfortunately...), I was able to get it to connect and maybe seem fine, but the moment I went to go start up a game, it started a constant wave of the connect-disconnect-connect-disconnect chimes, never staying connected for more than about a second or two. Link to a Gyazo replay I took of the issue. This happens with both games that I tried; Moonglow Bay just happens to be the one I had open at the time to record it. It's also useful because you can see the inputs displayed by the game never even briefly switch over to the controller inputs (would show as a hamburger menu icon instead of the chunky enter button), staying on KB+M the whole time, so clearly the controller is never fully connecting.
Update 2: As I was writing this up, I was able to grab another USB-C cord. Same problem with the disconnects/reconnects even though I don't have a game going, and previously it was able to be at least somewhat stable. Gyazo link, again.

- The USB port functions fine; I checked with the same port and cord and was able to use other devices.
- The Pro Controller is also functioning fine outside the PC; I was able to connect it to my Switch and use it directly there.
- It's not a 'that port' issue, because I also tried connecting the Pro Controller to a couple different USB ports, none worked.
