Based on my research, the steam deck lcd should be able to wake when a controller connects with it. Yet when I paired and enabled wake on Bluetooth for any of my controller it doesn’t work or connect.

Am I doing something wrong?

The controller I’ve tested are

Xbox One

Xbox Series X

PS4

PS4 V2

All controller have been updated by their respective systems.

Just be mindful of the xbox controllers as I think it should be very picky about working only with specific versions of the controller, but what version of SteamOS are you on? It's been on a journey of being enabled and disabled with each update.

You might want to try the beta version

These controllers worked on my friends system.
