I only need them to remove the steam gamepad input on remote play, otherwise the dualsense features doesn't works at all.
hi,
thank for the continued support!
I believe there is a bug in this version, while pairing a Nintendo controller while a game is running...
It causes the steam link to freeze completely, only power cycle returns it to normal.
I have done this many times with these controllers and only this version causes it.

thanks again.

I agree with this issue. When the Nintendo Pro controller goes to sleep whilst in game the Steamlink box freezes and I need to physically reboot it.

I also confirm this. Disconnect the switch pro controller while playing a game, then try to reconnect, and the steam link completely freezes and requires a power cycle to recover. Also freezes if you try to connect a switch pro controller as a second player. Confirmed in multiple games. I can disconnect and reconnect the controller all I want if the steam link is not currently streaming from my pc, however.
Bug that Steam Link does not shut down still present (have to unplug cord). Latest build without bug: 819.
Till the last firmware update i'am not able anymore to shut down my steam link with upper right button in global menu. This doesn't do anything at all, system stay like this idling and it starting to become really ANNOYING due the the fact that i have to switch off the power with the cable to be able to shut it down and its crappy hard stop. please do something.

We are reported this several times but they don't recognize the bug.

Can you confirm that this bug is present in build 820? Having a confirmed build where it starts being broken will help with us tracking it down, since we aren't seeing the issue here.

Thanks!

I tried 819 (not present) and 824 (present), not tried 820. So I cannot confirm that.

If you can try the builds between 819 and 824, that would be extremely helpful in tracking this down.

Thanks!
I think 849 broke wii u pro controllers for me..
I installed it and noticed the custom binding i use on the steam link change, i had it set up so that the face button positions match the ones on the xbox controller.
so i tried rebinding them but managed to mess up since the confirm and stuff was different, and it became unusable.
(nothing weird so far except maybe the lost binding at the start)
Now i tried unpairing (removing?) it and re-pairing it and sometimes it doesn't show in the controller menu, sometimes it does or it goes weird.
Now it seems to be paired, connected but the buttons does nothing and it doesn't show up in the controller menu.

ive been using a wired xbox 360 controller to navigate the steam link while this was happening.
Ok, tried to connect the wii u pro controller with the wired 360 controller disconnected.
it worked fine but i wanted to change the bindings so the positions match etc.
When i got past the "guide/home" button it asked me for the screenshot button or whatever.
i had run out of buttons so i just pressed "next" on all of those including the back paddles which the controller doesn't even have.
at the end im back to the controller menu with no controller listed and no control over the steam link using that controller.

I've also noticed that i was having trouble turning off the steam link or stopping the stream via big picture when i was using my backup 360 controller.. not sure if thats a new thing.

Update:
I reset the bluetooth using my 360 controller.
it rebooted, i unplugged it.
hit the pair button on the wii u pro
It seemed to work for navigating the menu.
went to the controller menu to remap and its empty and now the controller is unresponsive.
Is this (old) update just for the Steam Link device? Not the Steam Link app (for android and ios)?
I have not been able to get two joycons to be recognized as one input device with the android app. It forces me to choose either the right or left joycons, with no option of using both at once.
