Verified fixed. Thanks @BuZz !

Oh man...

I'd love an answer to this. I have two Wii U Pros and things just don't work right when I attempt use them both.

They are both registered devices via the onboard BT. As you said, they both show as being player 1 on each controller.

The wife and I get lots of crashing, random button presses, and even phantom rumbles from the unused controller when it is just sitting there. My solution has been to just disconnect one and not use it. But, that sucks.

I'd love to be able to use two Wii U Pros at the same time....

Thanks.

Realised I wasn't setting up the PS3 controller correctly by not using a USB cable for the initial set up. Marking this topic as solved.

@dankcushions said in Random Button Presses When Using Wii U Pro Controller:

if the issue is with the pi's onboard bluetooth, then the only people who could fix it are those supporting the linux drivers/firmware, not retropie.

This thread seems to suggest that some controllers don't filter their signals sufficiently and the Pi doesn't do that either. USB and wireless adapters tend to filter these micro signals, thereby fixing the problem, as does adding capacitors to the faulty controllers (final confirmation).

The question is, can it be considered an error on the part of the Pi that it's "too sensitive", if the actual fault lies with the controllers.

Hiya

Thanks for that recommendation, that sounds like just what I need...I've heard it's a great controller too.

Best

@Jeanybean
Unpair with your Pi then sync that controller with something else (like maybe your Wii U) and then come back to the Pi and try a new sync.

I had a similar issue with a different Bluetooth controller and this worked for me :-)
