Bug description

I was connected via Bluetooth but the battery was getting low, so I plugged it in. After doing so, it was not seen/recognized by Epic Games/Fortnite, but Steam still saw it, so I knew it was connected and "working." After some troubleshooting, I realized it was showing twice, once under wireless/BT and once wired, both with the same ID. I'm guessing Steam is somehow able to deal with the fact it was basically two devices simultaneously while Epic wasn't. DsHidMini (or maybe it's an issue with BthPS3) should remove it as a wired/wireless device when it connects as the other.

Steps to reproduce

• Connect a DS3 controller wirelessly
• Plug it in to connect it wired
• See that it's showing twice, one wireless and one wired

Actual result: See above
Expected result: See above

Kinda known bug, not sure it can ever be fixed properly the way Windows and the controller works.

I thought I had a working mechanism but oh well.
