Gulikit controller won't connect correctly

I have a gulikit kingkong 2 pro controller. Recently an update was pushed where multiple problems happened (black screen, unable to boot, etc) and another one was that this controller is now unable to connect. I have tried the switch, xinput and dinput mode and none of them work. The controller simply connect loop and stops after being idle for a certain amount of time. This connection is being done by usb, but the bluetooth connection also doesn't work. I was only able to connect to the controler using buetoothctl (not gnome-bluetooth or the steam gaming mode bluetooth ui) Is there anything that I could do to fix this problem? (I already tried switching to use-stock-gamepad and rebooting while already connected with usb and none of them worked)

welp found my problem... for some reason I had DRD setted up instead of XHCI... I know I didn't change it so maybe an update changed it automatically, but It's good to finally found the reason

I've run into this issue. So do I need to go into the bios in order to enable XHCI?

Yes, I'll see about getting this bios update into the next build should it's changed back

Unfortunately changing it to xhci didn't work on my particular set of controllers. I'm having a similar issue though where my controller connects, freezes up the deck briefly, and then is completely unresponsive despite successfully connecting. This is through both bluetooth and usb

xhci/drd only makes a difference for USB connections, will never affect bluetooth

I've only used my kingkong 2 over bluetooth and it's working normally so far. You using the steamdeck or a normal computer? (I haven't tried it on my steamdeck in a few weeks)

Had to switch controller to D mode, then it worked. Didnt seem to work in Switch, android, or windows mode. I had also switched to stock gamepads with ujust

android and windows mode should work using stock-gamepads drivers though, i own the same controller and have not done any changes to my setup
