Having a problem with the SN30 Pro cutting out on various SNES emulators

My specific problem is when I'm using the SN30 Pro to play SNES on my PC. I'm running into a weird issue where the controller will suddenly either be non-responsive (IE no inputs are registered. Which can be seen on SNES9x), or be stuck in whatever direction I was pressing, until I simply click on the screen (either into the input selection, or on another window). After this super quick "reset", the controller will then work great for anywhere from a few seconds to 5+ minutes, and then I'll have to "reset" it again by clicking the a different window or something again. It definitely seems to be tied to the D-Pad. But I'm not sure.

​

Some additional info.

I tried using a wired controller, and didn't run into any issues.

I tried three different SNES emulators, and the same issue persisted

I used my SN30 Pro to play Doom 2016, and didn't experience any of this dropping out. It worked great

​

Anyone have any idea what's going on?
