I have a seris x pad that I use for some games via bluetooth.
It works fine but when I want to take it from the living room (win 11 pc) to the bedroom (win 10 PC) I have to remove it from windows and re-pair it.

Same vice-versa.

Anyone else do this? seems daft I have to re-pair it every time, Im guessing the pad can only cope with one 'pairing' at a time?
 
Has no one really come across this problem?

I could forgive it on older pads, but a series X pad I would expect to be a bit better, or is it just an MS one/360 pad in new clothes?

Same issue if I pair with an actual XBOX

I have to delete and re-connect it every god damn time...

I'm sure its a firmware issue on the pad itself.

Not done it myself but this site says once it's paired to both devices you can switch between them with the sync button.


Thanks.
Weird. I tried the above and it didn't seem to work but then all of a sudden it worked fine.

I Don't even need to use the sync button, I just turn the pad on and it connects to either pc.
I don't have both PCs turned on at the same time so maybe that helps.

Strange but I'm not complaining!
