    If it’s unused you wouldn’t connect it… so I do not see the problem. Like why would you leave it on? Even if it’s a mistake is easy to “fix”.

      I see simple scenarios:

      1. PS5 console in a family.
      2. Gamer 1 plays multiplayer with gamer 2
      3. Gamer 2 leaves and just puts the controller down
      4. Gamer 1 starts playing a solo game unaware controller 2 is wirelessly still connected to the console
      5. Gamer 1 herits from stick drift from controller 2

      Seems like a fairly reasonable thing to happen when it comes to console use.

        6. Gamer 1 notices something weird and then sees that the second controller is still on and disconnects it. That is the easy fix.

        Plus in any case like this will only happen if you enabled this sharing controller thing just before. Most of the time you will not be playing with it enabled.
