I need to update the software for my Scorpion G60 gamepad when I connect it with a wire.
I acquired a Scorpion G60 gamepad to utilize it without wires, connecting it through Bluetooth. Everything functions adequately until I use the cable, at which point it disconnects. I've attempted to diagnose the issue, but haven’t been able to determine a resolution. When operating wirelessly via Bluetooth, it is identified as “Bluetooth gamepad” and operates without issues. However, when connected through a cable, it initiates charging correctly, yet the PC recognizes it as “GT60” gamepad. It works perfectly when connected with a cable, but the issue is that I frequently need to restart the game.

This shouldn't be a significant inconvenience if I weren’t playing FIFA online. Every time my gamepad's battery is low, I am unable to continue and invariably lose the match. My objective is to prevent Windows from switching the “Bluetooth gamepad” driver to the “GT60” driver when a cable is connected. Is this achievable, and if so, how? Thank you.
It appears the issues you’re having are common in certain video games. Many older and a significant number of newer titles struggle to seamlessly change input devices. A possible solution involves connecting the other end of the USB cable directly to a power adapter, bypassing your computer. However, I cannot guarantee this will work as it depends on the device's internal configuration. Since there’s no readily available data regarding the controller’s charging requirements, we can estimate it operates at a minimum USB 2.0 standard of 5 watts with 0.5 amps. Seek out a charging block that provides these specifications.
It’s not a simple issue tied to games, even within Windows. I navigate to Control Panel > Devices and Printers > Gamepad settings, right-clicking to find “Bluetooth gamepad.” When connected wirelessly via Bluetooth, it shows up as "Bluetooth gamepad." However, plugging in the cable causes “Bluetooth gamepad” to remain active but fail, and a new entry, "GT60," appears, functioning correctly as “GT60.” Disconnecting the cable reverts it to "Bluetooth gamepad" and restores its functionality. And yes, using a phone charger resolves the problem, but it's frustrating when this occurs during an online game with a strict 30-second pause limit. With only one meter of cable, it’s difficult to reach a charger while playing. My goal is simply to use USB exclusively as a charging method, without the gamepad switching drivers when connected and then reverting when disconnected. If that’s achievable…
