Hello!
I recently got 2 wireless xbox controllers to be able to play on steamlink, aka cooping with friends on the couch. But it will only register one of the controlls on steam, anyone have any ideas?

I have 2 adapters, since i bought 2 controllers. It will let me connect one but not 2.
I asked in teh steam discord as well but couldnt resolve it

Thanks in advance

r u talking about playing on the same pc for both controllers?

lunar otter
#

I see that both controllers are connected to pc through bluetooth settings, just in steam it doesnt seem to work

boreal field
#

i think its because steam cant differeniate each controller from 2 different accts.

#

it may have issues with which inputs it uses controller 1 , controller 2 etc

#

Weird cuz i read some on the internet it's just plug and play

boreal field
#

plus steam share cant play the same game at the same time if u sharing ur library to the other acct

#

My plan was to play on steamlink

#

So aka just cast it to the tv

#

So that shouldnt be an issue

boreal field
#

i dont use steamlink often enough

lunar otter
#

Not big picture mode either?

boreal field
#

but what is said still applies about owning the same game and steam sharing it

lunar otter
#

Im not even sharing it. Im casting the game to locally play multiplayer

boreal field
#

i was able to cast to my s8 tablet no issue.

#

But that's is not the issue. The issue is still how do i connect 2 controllers to my steam

boreal field
#

its basically how steam recognizes the inputs basically.

#

does it read input from controller 1 over controller 2 im not sure im explaining it correctly

lunar otter
#

I mean, both are connected to pc

#

But steam only reads one

boreal field
#

basically the issue is how steam is reading the inputs

#

i have no idea sorry

lunar otter
#

If anyone else got some advice? 🙌

#

I tried using a nintendo swtich controller +

#

one wireless xbox, then it recognize 2 controllers

#

But i want 2 wireless controllers

Try syncing both controllers to the 1 adapter.

lunar otter
#

Trying right now

#

The other one wont sync to the one stick

#

Blinking fast then slow again

#

Tried 3 times now

#

Press the connect btn on controller until rapid blinking, then press the connect on the stick
