This one simple thing is the only thing that makes my SteamDeck+Dock feel like a second class console. So far they only claim it's for the Steam Controller, but I'd be great if it worked with the handful of 8bitdo or Switch controllers I've been using.

Waking up the deck works for me with my xbox controller connected via bluetooth. Are you using those controllers via BT or USB?

Edit: Now that I think about it, this might have been a feature added to the OLED model.

Yes, the OLED model has a different Bluetooth controller and iirc that's the main reason. Though Valve has been working on trying to backport it to the original models as well.
