When i play the qs randomly stops working i be having to sometimes disconnect the fgc2 and reconnect it just to fail 5 min later

The other day you said you got it working, but did not say what you did to get it working.

Did you complete this part:  "You have to set the controller connection to USB only and turn off the Bluetooth in the PS5"

If you don't do that, the original DS controller will take over control again.

Did you update the FGC2 firmware?

What do the lights on the FGC2 and the Quadstick do when it stops working?

I ran a test yesterday with my PS5 and a Quadstick + FGC2.

I updated the firmware in the FGC2 to the latest version (1.1.3.1) and ran the Quadstick with the FGC2 for a couple of hours on my PS5 and it worked the whole time.

Brook's comment for version 1.1.3.1 is "1. Test PS5 connection stability" so I think they have been experiencing disconnection problems.   They greatly trimmed down the number of versions they make available and the one prior, 1.1.2.7 said "For testing purposes only, to ensure stable online connectivity with the PS5 console.(No vibration function)".  

We don't need vibration or trigger feedback and can turn those off in the PS5 settings.  That will reduce the number of messages being sent from the PS5 to the FGC2, if the FGC2 is having trouble with those.  

These are the settings on the PS5 that I used:

Also, set the time until controllers turn off to "don't turn off".

and I set the console to not enter rest mode while playing games:

Bluetooth on the PS5 must be turned off:

The other thing I did was set the volume of the speaker on the controller to 0.
