New Input System - Problem with USB Controller

Question

Hello everyone!

I am running on Unity 2020.3.0f1 and using the new input system on version 1.0.2.

I am trying to connect my USB controller, but Unity do not seems to get any inputs in game. The controller works fine in Windows → Control Panel → Devices → Game Controller Settings and My XboxOne Controller has no problem in Unity

When looking in the in the input debugger, I can see the controllers and in its debug window I can see events happening even without me holding the controller.

What I’ve tried :

• Rebooting PC

• Closing Steam and all other apps

• Plugin in different USB ports

I’ll try to have my friend try it on its PC, but as mentioned above, it works fine in Windows’ built-in controller config.

Any ideas?

UPDATE :

I have found that my gamepad is detected as a Joystick. Is there anyway to tell unity that it is a gamepad and not a Joystick?

Answer 2

Same issue here, just started recently.
Controller is read fine by Windows, and works on occasion with Unity, but often it stops working.

I checked in the input manager and set it to listen, unity doen’t even pickup input,

Answer 3

it worked with me when i used a different control scheme than keyboard scheme.
add a new control scheme call it Gamepad and assign gamepad actions to it.
in player input component put value (Any) in control scheme or put Gamepad.
