Bluetooth gamepad woes

I've been having strange behaviour from my Bluetooth game controller. I'm not sure if it's an issue with the controller or with the setup on my PC, but I figured I may as well ask here first. I had to re-pair it after a motherboard upgrade, and it seemed to work fine for fifteen or twenty minutes, but now it's gotten itself into a completely unusable state.

I'm using bluetoothctl to manage the connection. If I unpair it with 'remove [address]', put the controller in pairing mode, and then scan, it appears like I would expect. When I run 'pair [address]', it pairs successfully, and then almost immediately disconnects. I can send a 'connect [address]' command and then it reconnects, but after four seconds the controller starts displaying its no-device-connected light signal and ceases output, and after a few more seconds it puts itself to sleep and the PC reports that it's disconnected. If I wake it up again, it connects, waits four seconds, stops sending signals, and then puts itself to sleep again. The end result is that I cannot use it for anything, because when you wake it up it sends output for four seconds before disconnecting and then putting itself back to sleep.

This is a Gulikit Zen Pro controller.
