Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Nintendo Switch Pro Controller over bluetooth randomly disconnects when rumble is enabled (in Steams controller settings). The more rumble feedback a game has, the more frequent the problem occurs.

I have tried both the client version above, and the current beta available version available today 1/5.

I remember having this exact same problem sometime last year, it got fixed at some point with a client update if I remember correctly, but now the problem appears to be back.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Make sure rumble is enabled in Steams controller settings
2. Play a game that has rumble, I tried it with the Linux Native game DRAG, and R-Type Final 2 through Proton.
3. Controller will randomly disconnect
