Currently, I’m using a DualSense with my docked Deck and I love using the gyro for switch games, but I’d like to be able to wake up the device with the controller, which I know is only possible with a 2.4Ghz dongle. But then the controllers I was able to find that have both gyro and 2.4Ghz connectivity, only support motion controls on Bluetooth mode, which defeats the point. The only one I found that can do gyro over 2.4 is the Vader 3 Pro, but it needs its software to be running in the background, and I don’t know if that’s even available on the deck, and it also loses analog triggers unless on bluetooth.
Unless I can find a controller that does it all, I think I’ll just keep using the DualSense, since the touchpad is a nice addition too.

I mean technically bluetooth *is* 2.4GHz… but I digress. Sounds to me like it only supports wake from USB devices and not really that its a 2.4 adapter. Have you tried waking it using the dualsense with a wired connection to a powered dock? if it works could maybe just charge your dualsense from the dock when not in use, then hit a button while its still plugged in to wake the deck before unplugging the usb cable when you go to play.
Maybe 8bit-do Ultimate? Has Hall-effect, gyro, dongle. Apparently it’s pretty good and not terribly priced. I am about to order one given sales to test it out.
I’ve tried three-four different controllers and I still find Dualsense to be the best one with gyro, analog triggers, and a programmable mic button which is quite unique.
As for waking up the system, either get that one universal remote(think it’s sold out) or forget it. The only one that’s worked so far is the official Steam controller but it sacrifices a lot of controls modern controllers use
