Valves new steam controller can wake the LCD stream deck over Bluetooth
2026-06-19 02:13 UTC
Don’t know if anyone has tried or if it’s well known, but I did. There was a brief period where I could wake it with my Xbox series controllers but then valve pulled the feature for bugs which I never experienced.
I first tried with the dongle which wakes it as expected on my Linux desktop and my steam deck. Then I paired it with Bluetooth mode and was able to wake it without issue.

Amazing, I tried it when I first got the controller and it didn’t seem to work. I’ll definitely give it another go because this would make things so much more convenient.
