Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
After updating my SteamDeck LCD to SteamOS 3.6.x I started having consistent issues with connecting my bluetooth devices to my SteamDeck. My Microsoft Elite 2 controller, would connect, however the Steam Deck would not recognize it as a controller and would be unable to interact with the UI. Most of the time, however, the controller would not connect at all. Rebooting the device as well as unpairing and repairing the controller would mitigate the issue temporarily, however, the issue would come back once the connection was dropped and was attempted to be reconnected. This issue also occurred with my Logitech MX Master 2 mouse and G915 keyboards, also both connected via bluetooth. Both the mouse and the keyboard seemed to lose and regain connection to the SteamDeck This issue only seems to exist in 'Gaming Mode' as all devices seem to work fine in 'Desktop Mode.' I tested a mouse and keyboard that was connected via USB dongle and this issue was not seen. After reverting my SteamDeck back to SteamOS 3.5.19, the issue seems to persist, however, once again only in 'Gaming Mode' and not in 'Desktop Mode'. This issue did not exist until updating my SteamDeck LCD to 3.6.x
Steps for reproducing this issue:
- Attempt to connect new or previously paired device to SteamDeck.
