maybe your software didn't install properly. try unplugging and plugging it back see if your PC picks it up. if not then it's your USB port try putting it into another USB port. I'm using mine just fine btw I also use the wireless Xbox 360 controller

ps3 controllers + better ds3 > xbox controller, trade it in!

I used to use an Xbox360 controller, you do know that Xinput puts your analog triggers on the same axis? Meaning if you use both trigger at the same time you will ZERO the input, that's game breaking. Get used to PS3 layout, you can use the D Pad at the same time as Left Stick, which is really important in pso2. You can't do that on Xbox360. PS3 controller is 10x more comfortable, you can really push yourself to the limit with it, for example http://youtu.be/nxRv6OHzD5M

invest in ps3 controller, use better ds3 and connect via bluetooth if you want wireless, /thread

Hahahaha no. I've never had a problem with this, like ever. PS3 controllers are awkward as fuck, and I don't like you for suggesting them. He's got a 360 controller, help with that controller or don't shitpost.

As for OP's problem, I believe it's been solved.

You can't laugh off a driver design flaw, it's how Xinput works, if you go to controller calibration you can see when pressing both triggers at the same time you get no Z axis input, since they're on the same axis, they cancel each other out.

Xbox One controller is also screwed until they update Xinput to separate the triggers, and put them on two separate axis. Even then the better option remains DS4, and like I said, there is no way to use the DPAD on Xbox layout at the same time as the left stick unless you use both hands or control the stick with your index finger by curling it which I don't believe anyone would be able to do well.

Why introduce yourself to problems when the likes of better controller design exists and isn't plagued with driver flaws since they're made by consumer third parties, which understand the players.

p.s. saying "shit post", you're just trying to be insulting with your huge xbox bias. doesn't make you sound cool, just makes you sound like an ignorant fanboy. Xbox controllers are just bloated and overrated. at least back up what you're saying. calling it "awkward" is just opinion, I find Xbox controllers awkward. And DS3 is a solid build, does the job. DS4 is designed for ergonomics so it's supposedly comfortable (though I prefer the solid feel of DS3 even if it hurts my hand after a while). But please stick to your xbox controller, kthx.

Uh, I like the Xbox controller design better personally thank you. So you can shove off right off for telling me another controller design is objectively better.

Now lets examine these issues you brought up in reference to pso2. By default, dodging movements are linked to right trigger and subpallete selection usage is linked to left trigger. No one in their right mind is going to be using both of those at the same time. That at the very least was pretty decently thought out as far as the control scheme goes.

The dpad thing is actually funny because many games treat it similarly in that most games only require simple, short inputs from the player on it. This game doesn't really deviate from that. And in this game, you really only need to touch the dpad for very quick management of your weapons or whatever is on your subpalette. This means that its entirely appropriate to just hold a direction with your index finger or make simple movements if needed since you shouldn't be dealing with that for very long.

What's more of a problem is how controller weapon switching is handled inherently which is unrelated to controllers in general and more to how that ingame system was designed. If you are taking a lot of time switching weapons or switching subpallete icons, I think you've got more of a personal issue. Not to mention that with the default layout you have to deal with that finger position anyways if you want to TPS aim properly. That's also an inherent problem with how the ingame controls were designed, but it can be worked around.

So in short, I'm sorry if you don't like the layout as much as you find yourself sucking with it when I can make use of it just fine. In the end, its all inferior to mouse/keyboard play to begin with so I find it somewhat stupid to argue this at all.

Uh, I do this all the time with my 360 controller. I run while moving through my item lists all the time. What you said is definitely not true.

Personally, I prefer 360 controllers over PS3 because the triggers are nicer. It's not a huge deal, just a tiny personal issue. However, I've yet to try the PS4 controllers, I've heard that they solved the trigger issue. I have both the PS3 and 360 controllers, and use the PS3 controller downstairs with my laptop, and the 360 one with my desktop PC.

well you can if you hit auto run, or you're saying you use your index finger to control left stick whilst using thumbs on dpad? ionno, I feel like keeping thumbs on sticks is more accurate, and the xbox has a notoriously sucky dpad, on ps3 layout you curl your index to the dpad, which hurts like hell until you get used to it. I got used to it on Monster Hunter games, on the PSP and PS2 so it feels natural, at least to me.

and yeah, if you like Xbox triggers then Dualshock4 is for you, personally I tried a DS4 in store and compared it to my ps3, I absolutely hate the ergonomic design, I prefer the hand strain from using a ps3 controller than using such ionno what's the word, just felt so small, I like my oversized sticks and triggers, matter of preference I guess but any form of Xbox controller I hate, I really hate having sticks above dpad and it feels so bloated.

I guess I shouldn't enforce my opinion, but I do feel strongly about it, I can't see people being able to use the dpad as well as you can on a ps3 *shrugs*

The newer variant of the Xbox 360 controllers actually has a pretty decent dpad, but they're a bit more expensive. I really like the Xbox One controller too, but Microsoft is just dragging its heels with that ridiculously and the unofficial driver has issues.
