How Do I Disable Bluetooth Wake on My Steam Deck?

-

With the new Steam OS 3.7 update, I can wake my Steam Deck from sleep using a controller, which is awesome! But there’s a catch: I discovered that my Nothing Ear (a) earbuds can also wake it up, and I’m not sure how to turn this off. I want to keep Bluetooth on and maintain my dual-point connection without completely disabling Bluetooth. Is there a way to disable the wake feature specifically for my earbuds?

You might want to check out the deckyloader plugin. There’s a specific plugin created by FineWolf that addresses this exact issue of Bluetooth wake controls. Definitely worth the effort!

Yeah, I heard about that plugin too! But just a heads up, I tried it and it didn’t work for me at all.
