  1. this is so weird. my DualSense works in some games but not a sports game. connection is a USB hub... when i opened Device Manager i found this:

    ive reconnected it a dozen times... pelase tell me its a setting and not a broken controller.

    the controller is new and charged, and it works in other games on teh same PC... only this one refuses to cooperate, which makes me think its a settings issue somewhere. any ideas??

  2. do the buttons respond in joy.cpl?

  3. oh ive been there lol playStation controllers arent natively supported by every PC game. Either use Steam Input, which translates them, or a game with native support. Without translation the game may simply ignore the controller. fingers crossed 🤞

  4. oh ive been there lol test teh controller in Windows with joy.cpl (Game Controllers dialog)... if buttons respond there, teh hradware and driver are fine and teh issue is game-side.

  6. For Bluetooth problems, remove the controller in Settings > Bluetooth & devices, update the Bluetooth driver from your motherboard or laptop maker, and pair again. Cheap Bluetooth dongles are a frequent cause of drops.

    ahh classic unplug other input devices like racing wheels, flihgt sticks or drawing tablets lol Some games bind to the first detected controller, which may not be ur gamepad. fingers crossed 🤞
