ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มิ.ย. 2022
- Don't use a USB Hub, don't use USB 3, update your drivers, change your power settings, enable generic controller support in Steam or your launcher of choice. Make sure your PC isn't cutting power to the USB ports to save power, make sure your controller is properly enabled. I will walk you step by step getting a controller or gamepad working on your Windows 10 or 11 PC.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This is the exact video I have been trying to find for the last week or so, every other video just skims over the steam controller config setups or something similar. But you provided so many options that I didn’t even see mentioned in 90% of the videos I watched AND you considered almost every possible situation. My controller works great now all thanks to you!
Amazing! The troubleshoot and plugging into the back on the PC worked for me. Thank you!
Dude, you’ve been the greatest help I’ve had ever. Thanks for the info!🔥🔥💪
Thank you so much for this video. The generic gamepad that I ordered arrived today, and I thought I would have to send it back because steam wouldn't recognize it, but I am now rockin'.
This video was such a huge help!!! Thank you for covering so many options for troubleshooting my controller for Steam!!
Thank you very much. My controller stopped working out of the blue while I was playing a game. Going to the device manager to adjust the power saving feature for the USB ports fixed the problem.
Save the day brother. Thank you for the step by step
Big fat THANK YOU for that quick fix! The hint at 5:00 to uninstall the drivers, then physicaly disconnect, restart pc and after fully booting reconnect the controller solved the problem. Then the driver will be drawn by the device and is now fully functional.
Appreciate your continuing work!👍
So glad that actually helped someone! Right on brother
@@GamerHeavenOfficial but why doesn’t my ps5 controller stay on? I turn it on, it blinks six times and shuts down. Sorry if you mentioned this
@@godzefkiel2686 it tries to connect via Bluetooth but it dosnt find a pc to pair
@@anassright5342 how to fix that?
@@godzefkiel2686did u find a fix?
BRO! Cant thank you enough - was about to scrap my elite controller. Literally did everything uninstall-firmware-apps-reconfig-everything - for whatever reason going into windows settings + controller + diagnostic settings pulled my controller back into normal behavior. Literally was glitching out so hard, spamming y and couldn't get profile light to turn on at all or change- I still dont understand it but your in depth guide is a GAME changer. Ive hit every resource and your the only one that mentioned this option. Thanks a TON
This video was sooooo helpful!! Thank you so much!
WHAT A LEGEND!!Thank you soooo much, i was so worried because my controller worked normally day before. For me, problem was solved when I checked all that controller setting on steam. Thank you so much!!
Thanks so much I been struggling to connect my controller but this helped bro
bro you are such a life saver . i went through how many channels for a number hours trynna figure out why my new ps5 aim controller ( bought because i watched your review on it) wasnt getting power only hour out of the box. thanks soo much bro !!
You Just earned a sub, I love this video and how helpful it is. How do you have only 67.6k you deserve millions!
Thank you so much for this video, it really helped to get me up and running by adjusting the settings for my controller to work.
This video was helpful my desktop has 4 USB port and 2 of them are 3.0 , I couldn’t get my n64 usb controller working but after using the 2.0 port , it works like a charm
Huge help for me, and I'm personally thankful for that, because of the fact that I have now working controller thanks to this video. Big props to You for that, Bro!
Definitely had to subscribe your a goat and got my Go toller working thank you ❤️🔥🙏🏽🔥
yep, none of this worked
lol i’ve never been able to use a controller on my pc bruh, i’ve tried ever since a kid
Me to😢
damn i got it to work for my ps5 controller, go to add device on computer, and then hold the share button and the home button on the ps5 controller for a bit, the lights will start to flicker, and it will prob show up on add bluetooth device.
@@WiredLain_I connected my controller but i can’t control any games I’m playing
@@hudsonbruce898 if you have steam then go to big picture mode and there will be an option to connect the controller. it doesn’t work dor every game, but it well tell u if it does, for example there will be a controller next to games that support it, and a keyboard next to ones that don’t support it.
Instant sub, funny and competent rarely go hand in hand
Thank you so much, I tried playing on PC for the first time ever, wanted to play battlefield2042. I got a scuf controller to play on my PC, I tried it like 6 months ago and it didnt just plug and play like I thought, couldn't find scuf support or battlefield controller support anywhere. I tried getting it to work for like 6 hours over 3 days, super dumb and gave up.
I tried breifly last night, with the same outcome.
THEN found this video last night, worked through the steps, found that I had to "disable", restart, then "re-able" the controller, stupid dumb quirkiness. But then the controller worked perfectly afterward.
So thanks for your outstanding research into this topic.
This has been THE fix for controllers. Turns out updating steam turned off the settings to "Allow x,y,z controllers" and it had me Wigging out the past few days. BUT now I can actually play games with the bois once again. Thank you, and I'll be saving this in the back pocket for any of my friends that have similar issues
thank you ive been having this problem ever since i got this new pc and hopefully it'll work now
sup dude, i think your a genius doing this ... *even some folks in game comunnities were like you may need a new device*.... 5:12 seems to have fixed my issue as the computer and device manager said the adapters and usb and drivers were up to date yet the controller wouldnt pair. so thx for going through each individual thing in relative order to troubleshoot this. ;p
Hell yeah, great info thank you!
for some stupid reason just using the big picture mode made my generic controller work. thanks for the guide! seeing how it worked in that windows button checker really gave me the push to not give up haah
Thank you for the tips. I thought i was loosing my mind.
THE ONLY TUTORIAL THAT ACTUALLY HELPED ME TYSM
when i connect my controller it messes with my keyboard makeing it repeat keys
YOU ARE A LEGEND!!!!! Thank you so much for this incredible troubleshooting. My controller all of a sudden stopped working for no apparent reason. Your suggestion at 4:30 solved my problem. You earned a sub!
same
He is not a legend you are a legend I was trying it from a hour and I saw this comment and restarted my pc it worked.Thanks!
Don’t know if it was the power save or moving it TO the usb2 at back FROM usb3 at front - but it’s currently working perfectly.
THANK YOU!!
TAHNK YOU SO MUCH I WAS HAVING THIS ISSUE OFF N ON FOR WEEKS FROM JUST DRIVERS UR A LIFESAVER
Thank you very much. It helps, I tried the device manager.
I don't even know if this is going to fix the issues I am having as I am not home at the moment. But, I can't imagine it doesn't. You sir have earned my sub. Well done. I'll be back if this fixes my issues with the garbage fire scuff prestige controller from 2020.
Having the 'correct' controller cable to connect from controller to PC is something that cannot be understated.
Most cables especially longer third party cables don't transfer data and work correctly for recognition and updating on PC and are simply 'charging' only cables.
Wait what do u mean by data transfers ? Because my controller won’t work when I connect it to my pic it says “ usb device not recognized” and just won’t work and won’t turn on when I do connect it
@@lgotxjuice1176 yes that was my problem..the cable's I purchased previously were only charging cable's...Kontrolfreek have a long cable that does both data transfer and charging...most regular phone charge cable's work as does included cable's with your consoles but find way too short
nothing else in the video worked, but i changed my cable to the default PS44 cable i had and it worked. I was using a longer cable but it didn't work for me.
@@ObeyaCorpsArmory yep you need to use a specific cable that can pass data and not just recharge
this was why my controller wasnt connecting, thanks man
For anyone having issues where your controller works but it glitches your screen and can't do certain inputs I tried this and it worked:
Go to steam > View in big picture mode > go to controller > go to desktop layout > Edit layout > apply NONE to all behaviors
Hi, it worked on my old Saitek, Thanks a lot!!!
EXACT VIDEO IM LOOKING FRO THANKS
MAN UR A LIFE SAVER
thank you. you help me alot
Kevin stay coming in with the clutch tips for my controller 🔥
huge help thanks
thanks man it works!
Never had any trouble until today. Can't get ANY controller to work on Windows 10 anymore. None of these fixed my issue. I can pair it via bluetooth or hook it up with a USB and it will show up in "Devices and printers" as wireless controller but it's not actually recognizing it. Xbox X, Ps4 or Ps5 controller doesn't work. What happened?
Edit- Ended up having to reinstall Windows10 with the media creation tool from Microsoft. It gives you the option to keep all your apps and files, so it was actually really simple. Fixed my controller problem.
how did you do it ?
Thank you, your a Hero bro
having it in my 3.0 port was the issue, thanks!
My Xbox One controller had stopped working on Windows 10 turned out I was using an older Micro USB cable and that was responsible for Windows 10 and Steam not recognizing it. Went back to the USB cable I was using prior and it's working again.
Thanks for the video👍
Geniunely great video
thank you, my controller wasn't working because my pc is too modern and every port is usb 3.2 but then I used the usb 2.0 and it worked
thank you so much for your help
Thank you soooooo much I was about to give up thank you
THANK YOU SO much
Tysm honestly ❤
Thank you!
helped steam configuration!) Thank you!!!
Damn super cool background XD
USB selective suspension was the issue. thank you
JESUS THANKS !!!!
I've been searching a fix for 3 days and at lost all hopes...
Finally just connecting it to a 2.0 USB port made it works after deleting the driver !!!!!
thanks
Dude mine says it works on steam but it is registering as an audio device somehow i can’t change it ive done everything in this video everytime i try getting it to work im damn near bout to throw my fist through monitor pain in the dick just to get a simple controller to work
Also I don’t know if this is something you have any interest in making a video for but I bought one of those 3 pedal foot switchers that you can use to mute your microphone in discord by stepping on it. But the downside is that they are defaulted to the three petals being mapped to A B and C. Couldn’t find how to remap the foot pedal or if it was possible.
welp i was sure that i'd have to buy a new controller but thank you the thing just came back to life out of nowhere after a few seconds/minutes
Hi, I've got my "Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play & Charge Kit" appearing properly in Device Manager, but when I run "Controller" it does not show up --> Any idea what that means?? FYI I tried everything you listed (different usb slots, drivers updated, power settings, disabled + restart + reenable), though I should mention my PC only has usb 3.0 slots. And no power seems to go to the controller.
Thabk you so much!!!!
thank you so much
THANKYOU!
After 20 videos you solved my problem!
That makes me happy
Legendary video. Controller god - thank you
Like other people said - the cable really matters when connecting controllers. I was trying to connect an xbox controller to my pc and finally the nintendo switch USB-C to USB worked.
I’m sorry but I’m still having an issue
Thank you!!! You are my hero! I had a xbox series x controler and it didnt connect even throught USB now i can finally play Fifa23 in peace! :D
this vid saved the day , thanks
Glad it helped!
It was the steam settings for me 🤦🏻♂️ always something dumb! Thanks man, appreciated
Hi, thanks for your video kinda helped but I am still having the issue the it will plug in and when I enter the setup a game controller y won´t give me an option, like it knows it's connected, but it doesn't recognize it as a controller, it's not the controller since I've tried it with 2 different Dualshock 4 controllers and it isn't the drivers since I already tried that fix. Help would be very much appreciated. Again thank you very much in advance.
Thx man now my mouse doesn’t work wireless and my keyboard doesn’t work either not even the controller I was trynna get help for had to write this on my phone instead of help you gave me more work
Tried a new usb port. Thank you!
Thanks for the informative video! I'm hoping that you have some insight on how to use a new Scuf Reflex Pro on my brand new ASUS TUF F15 laptop wirelessly. I was able to pair the Scuf controller, and it is showing up on the Blue Tooth device list as "wireless controller", but it doesn't work in Destiny 2. I tried updating the driver, and searching for drivers, but no luck. It is working fine while plugged in, just hoping to get around the clutter of wires.
Hey man I have the Flydigi Vader 2 Pro and my pc thinks its a mouse. It was working perfectly until I downloaded the Flydigi app on my PC and as soon as I connected it the controller stopped responding like a normal controller. I don't know if this will help but mainly use the controller with the USB Dongle connected to my PC.
Thank you for this Video. I was having issues with my controller and this video helped fix my problem. Thank you so much.
Im having an issue where on my PS5 edge controller whenever im using the steam big picture mode for it whenever I press the right side of my touchpad it clicks options but when i check it in the controller button testing it doesnt do that is it too new for it to know what it is?
literal god, immediate sub
dude, thank you. was about to toss out this used controller that seemingly worked on every device but mine, just needed a driver update. fuck yeah.
Thanks for this i recently bought like 4 controllers 2 of which were not working until i disabled then enabled it
Gaawd dammit i tried everything every other youtuber showed me and nothing worked. Now im playing thomb raider and my buttons are working exactly like it does on console. Big like. Big thanks
thank u very very much
Thank you
Sadly, its just as u said at one point. Im using a Stadia gamepad. The bloetooth- mode is up and running, It works perfectly everywhere except on my PC. I connected it via bloetooth, my pc doesent recognize my controller as such. By troubleshooting on my own, I already tried all those steps previously and nothing worked. Wired works, bloetooth dosent. Is this a Windows-sided issue? Do I need some external software to fix that? Can I use some sneaky hidden settings in steam or windows? I already searched a lot, but couldnt find anything.
saved me, switch pro controller wasn't detected on w10 on front usb3.1 connectors, worked first time while plugged into the back usb 2
I never had an issue with my dualshock when I just had a laptop. Now I have a pc… after three days I fixed a ground loop issue with my speaker system (plugging the 3.5 into my monitor fixed the gpu buzz, I didn’t even know there was a 3.5 on the back). AAAAND now I can’t freakin use my ps4 or ps5 controller on it. Ps4 controller gets random inputs without me touching it and the ps5 controller does one of three things: Doesn’t connect, connects and disconnects over and over at the speed of light, or stays on for 2 minutes then shuts off. My guy has a hundred controllers behind him, I pray to God you have the knowledge to save me from buying an expensive xbox controller and having to re learn its weirdass layout after having used ps4 controllers my whole life.
Edit: Well it’s working about as well as I think it will, no real issues except that the controller… idk, disconnects every once in a while? I only tested it on one game so far, Stray, and it seems to only do it when there’s a cutscene or something. It doesn’t really disconnect either, I think it just becomes unresponsive for a split second and immediately reconnects, which for Stray will kick me to the menu (like the in game pause menu, not the main menu or steam menu)
THANKS!!!!!
If controller/keyboard (anything usb) is not plugged in before boot up PC doesn't even register that you plugged in it! Please help
I still have problems with my Nintendo Pro Controller. My PC won't recognize it. I've plug it in in every USB-slots I have with no luck. But it works fine plugged directly into my Switch, so it does work. Any idea on how to get my PC to recognize my Nintendo Pro Controller?
When I played just cause 4 every time i pressed A I would jump, but then no matter what button I pressed I wouldn't move / do what the keybind is for a few seconds, as in it just would not work and then suddenly work again. It's fine for games like madden 24, and other controller games and it was fine the last time I had this game installed. Any idea how to fix it? Thanks.
I don't know if it's a problem with the installation, but my nba2k22 does not detect m gamepad. The controller is obviously installed and a tests show that its connected, but whenever I startup the game, there is a notification that a gamepad is not detected. PS: I use an xbox 360 gamepad. Please help!
What kind of controller is the best for PC I play warzone?
Best regards 😊
I've been trying to connect my controller with the blue tooth feature but it is not showing up on my PC. Any ideas? I was trying to avoid having to buy a cable.
I have fantech GP13 controller
Issue: Controller needed to be restarted and disconnected every time I put my computer to hibernate or sleep and controller needed needed steam to use controller inside games
Fix: I plugged the controller in the back of my pc instead of the front usb ports that come with the pc case
Result: My controller works fine after waking my pc from hibernate or sleep .Also, I no longer need steam launcher to make my controller works in games. It is finally plug and play.
Thanks gamer Heaven.
Please help me with my cheap USB controller , when I move the right analog stick it shows in steam big picture mode that I am moving the analog to up left when I move it to left , and when I move ut to the right it shows that I am moving it to the bottom right , and also why is my controller acting like a keyboard , I can't select my controller as second player !? Please help 🙏🙏😢
For me my pc recognizes all the buttons of the controller but whenever I try to play a game, it just doesnt work. Only the left thumb stick "works" in game and none of the other buttons do anything. I have tries ds4windows and x360 emulator, mapped all buttons and launched game and still no difference. This is my first time trying to use controller on pc and it just doesnt cooperate. What should I do?
Thank you so much this video is very helpful
My issue is that ANY xbox controller that i try to connect keeps giving me a "try connecting your device again" but my playstation controllers work fine with bluetooth. Do i need the dongle for xbox controllers? i thought it was just an option and not a necessity. Ive tried everything on this video and it still don't work :(
: ) thx so much ily
