Dear Valve worker lurkers: Why can't the new steam controller pair two BT devices when it can pair two pucks?

I'm genuinely curious to know why they chose to restrict it to one BT/BLE connection when they added the option to pair it with two pucks?

Also, can we PLEASE disable the "Pair controller??" pop up that interrupts everything if my controller turns off during remote play?

I would love to be enlightened on this situation. And if not, I hope my thoughts somehow trickle back to Valve

How can I increase headset performance in games (specifically beat saber)?

Meta Quest 3.
I use Beat Saber for cardio every night. I've gotten to the point now, after almost a year of pretty well every single day playing it, that the headset's performance is actually keeping me from progressing and reaching my full potential. I will get stutters. Those are less common but what I'll do is experience, like, the sabers actually feeling more like whips than sabers or I'll see the sabers appear only one time in a swing while the trail is there for the full swing, or my controllers will vibrate only after the saber has left a block. If I turn around too quickly while swinging at a block to hit another block, it will register as a wrong direction swing. Sometimes I'll go right through a block and watch my saber enter and exit it and then I'll get a miss on it.

It all has to do with just performance. Beat Saber is modded so I have downloaded custom maps but this happens on stock maps or modded maps, makes no difference. I just really need to improve the performance of this thing. It's driving me nuts. I want to get the Steam Frame but that's vaporware at this point. We know it's still coming but it's also not ever coming.

Meta Quest 3. Native Beat Saber, not PCVR.

General compatibility overall, gaming on the Snapdragon X Elite?

I have a new-to-me Surface Laptop 7 32 GB RAM X Elite on its way and I'm wondering how it does now that it's a couple years old?

There are still tons and tons of question marks all over the internet anytime I try to search any of this up myself so I just want some subjective personal experiences from people here if anyone is willing to share.

The primary purpose I'm getting this laptop is for productivity, especially coding and video calls. I need something extremely power efficient, that's not going to have a ton of stuttering, and very lightweight. Currently I'm using a Surface Pro 7+ with a Brydge keyboard and the keyboard adds a ton of weight and bulk. But not just that, I tend to have a lot of tabs and different things open and the i7-1165g7 processor, as impressive as it was for it's time, just isn't cutting it anymore.

My saved game just reverted back in the main story by several quests

I reported feedback already, fyi.

>!I had gotten to where I was looking for I think Ruby?'s second blackbox below the aliens. I saved and exited after being chased around the collector's area for a while (swimming just far enough in that it begins to chase, then backing up out of its area so it stops (which, by the way, ultra predictable, if you did that with a leviathan from SN1 it'd keep chasing till it ate you unless you got far enough away, not crossed some invisible barrier...)!<

>!Anyway, I saved and exited and when I reloaded my game I was in the same place, but my markers, including a hand-built beacon, were gone, except the tadpole pen one. I went back to NoA in the lifepod and it sent me to the tadpole pen again. My conversation with the ghost was reset, and I had to go through it again. !<

Has this happened to others?
