Game "Controller" Not Working on PC
4.5
You plug in your Xbox or PS5 controller, but the game doesn't respond to it.
Symptoms
- No input
- Wrong buttons
- Controller not found
Possible Causes
- Steam Input conflict
- Missing drivers
- Game doesn't support controller
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Enable Steam Input
Steam > Settings > Controller > Enable support for your specific controller.
2
Use "DS4Windows"
If using a PlayStation controller on a non-Steam game, you may need this emulator.
3
Try a Different USB Port
Ensure the port is providing enough power.
When to See a Technician
Many older PC games only support "XInput" (Xbox controllers); PlayStation controllers need software to "pretend" to be Xbox ones.
