      Does Steam’s controller timeout setting not work with yours? It works on both my PS5 and 8BitDo controller on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

      If you have Steam running, I believe you can disconnect with a quick PS+Triangle. Otherwise just hold down the PS button for a few seconds, which is annoying but better than switching tasks.

        10! ten whole seconds! almost enough time for the first part of the dial-up tone to get started

        EDIT:
        Also, i don’t like how steam doesn’t let us use the touchpad easily, you gotta hold down that power button and use a thumbstick, which sometimes takes me so long to get to the perfect right spot that turns off the controller hahahah

        fuck

          the 10 sec poweroff is the second reason why I stopped using a ps4 controller. the first is it being recognized as an audio device. the third is the friends I provide tech support for use them and constantly complain about the audio or other issues but don’t want to switch to anything else.
