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!
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!👍
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.
@@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.
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
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'.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
You are a trooble shooting hero! My nintendo pro controller would suddenly disconnect while playing for about a minute and than reconnect again while it was plugged in. Disabling the powercuts to the USB ports and/or changing the USB power settings worked for me after I restarted my laptop. Thanks a lot!
I was playing cod yesterday morning before work I get home from work and my controller started acting like a mouse everytime I click X to go into multiplayer it goes to the dpad typing bar I tried playing another game fall guys n my analog stick feels like amouse
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
Fixed mine. I just bought a Thrustmaster eSWAP S and...no go. Swapped to a USB in the rear of my puter and...WHAM! Game on. Thank you so much. I'm saving this video for my future headaches.
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
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!!
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
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 !!
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.
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!
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)
Windows doesn’t recognize that I’ve plugged it in at all. Switch pro controller. Works fine on the switch itself. Bluetooth works, but not wired. It reads Xbox controller just fine
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👍
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.

Got a new pc and everything was fine. All of a sudden my controller will become unresponsive for a few seconds. No idea why, had same issue on another desktop I had. Tempted to just do a fresh Windows install. Cant seem to find a fix 😬
My problem is I tried overclocking my controller with my strike pack on (didn’t know) now my controller is on but won’t respond. I’ve tried uninstalling scp, and I’ve trigger unplugging. Can someone please help me
I had this problem where my bluetooth would pick up the DS4, but when i tried to play a game it would be laggy, not register inputs, etc. The solution for me was finding the bluetooth antenna that came with my PC/Motherboard. It has two coaxial connections, plugged them into the back of my PC, and now I can play from my mailbox. Hope this helps.
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
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
@@nightwolf7yt i found one, you need a data transfer usb type c instead of a normal usb type c, i always thought my wires were fine, but its not if they work or not, its if it can transfer data from the controller to the pc.
Same - I bought a genuine, real MS 360 unit for £55... I get Be-Beep noise and.... nothing. My old £2.99 from the Chinese market thing is crap, but at least I can get it to work... after about an hour of setting up for ONE game..... Have to reset for the next... But why I cant just plug n play with a genuine MS controller is beyond me. I've been trying for 6 weeks - nothing.
after all those steps, my controller is still not working. it flashes like it doesnt even detect the pc. it happened randomly some day and didnt work since then. can someone help me pls?
my controller connects via bluetooth perfectly and even in the Test in windows settings all the buttons and my joysticsk work flawlessly, but in games it's still as if i never even connected the controller, it just doesn't work... i dont understand what could be wrong if windows recognizes it but no games.
Can someone help me?? i have a xbox controller but when i plug it in my pc and turn it on, it just blinks for some seconds and turns off and the pc wont recognize it, please if someone can help me, i'll apretiate it
None of these fixes work, because when I plug in my controller nothing happens like nothing was plugged in. (I have never used a controller on my pc before btw) Ps: I dont think my controller is an official xbox controller since it doesnt have the logo on the button, but it worked on my brothers laptop so I dont think that's the problem.
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 :(
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 🙏🙏😢
Whenever i plug my controller in it doesnt have any drivers or anything i can find for it, it doesnt even connect. It vibrates like its charging but i cant use it on the pc and cant find a single driver or hardware for it
none of this worked for me.. my controller works in big picture mode but does not work in game. ive gone through every step i can find online and in this video and nothing has worked.
Hey bro did you get it to work? I got two generic ps2 like controllers which do not work in games but they do work in just big picture mode. It works in CS2 but the sensitivity and controls are way off. It doesn't work on any other game. How can I fix this?
I have an additional problem - there happen to be a ton of games that impose their own layouts on controllers, and I can't disable the impositions. In theory, if there was a way to create fake or "dummy" controllers on the controller list in Joy.cpl, that would go a long way to alleviating this issue.
@@jasdeepsingh8510 My current PC has four controller ports, and my favorite technique for avoiding impositions is to plug three "dummy" controllers into various ports, and then plug "the actual controller" into the last remaining port. Usually there's some combination that will cause "the actual controller" to become identified as #2, #3, or #4 in a program, such as JoyToKey. Most games will only impose on #1. However, I have seen games take an "impose on everything no matter what" approach and... I really dislike that. I don't think this shortcoming will be broadly overcome until enough people get angry about it, like they do with viruses and malware.

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
Can someone help me?? i have a xbox controller but when i plug it in my pc and turn it on, it just blinks for some seconds and turns off and the pc wont recognize it, please if someone can help me, i'll apretiate it
helped steam configuration!) Thank you!!!
Thanks for this i recently bought like 4 controllers 2 of which were not working until i disabled then enabled it
None of these fixes work, because when I plug in my controller nothing happens like nothing was plugged in. (I have never used a controller on my pc before btw)
Ps: I dont think my controller is an official xbox controller since it doesnt have the logo on the button, but it worked on my brothers laptop so I dont think that's the problem.
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 :(
TAHNK YOU SO MUCH I WAS HAVING THIS ISSUE OFF N ON FOR WEEKS FROM JUST DRIVERS UR A LIFESAVER
Legendary video. Controller god - thank you
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 🙏🙏😢
When u went to see if controller is working 5:35 mine dosnt pop up there
same if you find any way to fix it please tell me
@@akiaki9707 bro it’s something to do with the installation of programme reset your pc but keep files it will work then
Whenever i plug my controller in it doesnt have any drivers or anything i can find for it, it doesnt even connect. It vibrates like its charging but i cant use it on the pc and cant find a single driver or hardware for it
All I did was restart my pc 😭
none of this worked for me.. my controller works in big picture mode but does not work in game. ive gone through every step i can find online and in this video and nothing has worked.
Hey bro did you get it to work? I got two generic ps2 like controllers which do not work in games but they do work in just big picture mode. It works in CS2 but the sensitivity and controls are way off. It doesn't work on any other game. How can I fix this?
this vid saved the day , thanks
Glad it helped!
I have an additional problem - there happen to be a ton of games that impose their own layouts on controllers, and I can't disable the impositions.
In theory, if there was a way to create fake or "dummy" controllers on the controller list in Joy.cpl, that would go a long way to alleviating this issue.
did u find any solution bro i have the same problem
@@jasdeepsingh8510 My current PC has four controller ports, and my favorite technique for avoiding impositions is to plug three "dummy" controllers into various ports, and then plug "the actual controller" into the last remaining port.
Usually there's some combination that will cause "the actual controller" to become identified as #2, #3, or #4 in a program, such as JoyToKey.
Most games will only impose on #1. However, I have seen games take an "impose on everything no matter what" approach and... I really dislike that.
I don't think this shortcoming will be broadly overcome until enough people get angry about it, like they do with viruses and malware.
Thanks bro it was cutting power to the usb
