I am experiencing quite often recently that the controller gets into a bad state, and the only respite is disconnecting and reconnecting the USB.

It would be nice if there was a way to quick reboot the controller, which works at a bios level. For example, pressing all three right buttons for 2 seconds. A bit like how you can reset phones by holding a power buttons for a while.

(I know how to get to the bios startup screen, but that feature does not work when the Electra halts. This needs to be caught at a lower level. Of course there is the reset button, but it needs a tool to be operated).
