Reported on Discord (GameSir 2 Lite controller).

Bluetooth: the controller stops responding now and then until it's reconnected.

Wired (USB): the camera keeps turning in one direction and Link runs in circles on his own, as if a stick axis (or a trigger mapped to an axis) were read as held.

What would help

The hid: lines from hookshot_log.txt (beside hookshot.exe): the controller name and type SDL reports, the mapping, and any connect/disconnect lines, for both the Bluetooth and the wired case.
Whether the same happens with Steam running (Steam Input on or off), and which mode the controller is in (it has several: Switch / Xbox / Android).
The Hookshot version.

Possibly related: #2070 (an 8BitDo Ultimate 2 disconnecting right after a torch is lit, which asks for vibration). If your GameSir drops out on Bluetooth, does it still happen with rumble off (Insert menu, Rumble strength at 0)?

Thanks for the report. Reports of the same problem are now collected in #2504, which lists this one with your details and links back here, so one fix closes them together and the open list stays readable. Follow #2504 for the fix, and add new details there (or here). If this turns out to be a separate problem it will be reopened.
