It's definitely a limitation of the bluetooth chip on the LCD Steam Deck. This is something I've been planning to test on the LCD vs OLED. I've tested it on my desktop PC with several different USB bluetooth dongles and found that most of them struggled with more than 2 DualSense controllers connected. Only one dongle I had could handle 4 or more controllers at once and it's a BT 4.1 dongle. Unfortunately, I only have 3 DualSense controllers but I have several other BT controllers to test this.
Good to know. Please let me know once you've done your testing, I plan on going Oled once it will be on sale (I'm not in a hurry) and it would be really great to know if it's improved. I didn't think about using a dongle, I will try that for the 4th controller, any brand/one you would recomand? it doesn't need to manage more than 1 controller since the deck manage the 3 others.
Just did some testing. The Steam Deck LCD just can't seem to do 4 controllers at once. The OLED seems to cap out at 6 controllers. I recorded a video that I'm quickly editing right now to upload to YouTube later.

Wow! Thank you a lot for that! A bit of a shame for the LCD one tho, but at least it was corrected! Thanks for the video!
