Virtual Controller for Nintendo Switch Keeps looping "connecting, connected" on Win11

[scarletz]

Saw other threads that descriped same issue before:

Virtual Controller keeps looping "connecting, connected" Loop for Nintendo Switch - reWASD Forum
Nintendo Switch External Device - Can't connect properly - reWASD Forum

Seems a common issue for Win11. Does any one have any idea when will this get fixed?

This cannot be fixed currently due to some bluetooth changes MS made in Win11. This is main reason reWASD added support for ESP32 bluetooth adapter - it is recommended solution.
Buy something like this one:

Or you can find cheaper alternatives.

Thanks, but how does this work? Never used this esp32 thing before...like, does it require programming or I just plug it in like any other regular bluetooth adapter?
