That provides enough voltage for dual-shock motors, and is still available.

The extra voltage comes from drawing more amperage and converting it with electronics. That's why your 120 volts coming out of your power outlet can power your computer to power your 5v USB devices, and the voltage your PS2 takes.

I didn't realize Logitech still sold a wireless controller, so after hearing about it in this thread I immediately ordered one online. So while I am super stoked that they finally added Xinput support today, I'm also kinda bummed that I spent $50 for no reason. But my woes aside, looks like the era of needing old controllers is finally over!

Yeah, i saw that. That was a suprising improvement. Also suprising was the statement that there may also be small bits of content in the post-april updates (new BCs etc).

Now if they would just remove the 30FPS cap (this is possible, there are some videos on Youtube of this) and update the client to DirectX 9 it would fix a lot of the problems. I mean just replacing DirectX 9 with 9 so it doesn't have to use the DirextX wrapper than modern windows uses to support DX8.

I've noticed with an Xbox 360 Controller on Windows 10, all the buttons work, but my confirm and cancel buttons are backwards. Oddly, changing them in the config doesn't appear to make any difference. I haven't tried changing other buttons, but has anyone else noticed this?

Japanese FFXI releases use Japanese PlayStation button assignment, which in turn is based on the Super Famicom controller (Japanese SNES) A/B button scheme where the confirm and cancel buttons are inverted against what is expected on USA and other English speaking contries. Circle means confirm X means cancel.

That would explain why you are getting inverted default buttons on your setup.

With my copy of FFXI when I pushed the "E" button I got the XBOX360 button assignment (I use a XBOX360 controller) which matched the USA style (matching X confirm Circle cancel used on USA PlayStation units).

So the trigger button work with the standard Xbox 360 gamepad driver? No need for XBCD anymore?

Apparently so.

[Atomic_Skull]

Works perfectly including the triggers.

EDIT: No it doesn't. With Xinput enabled it uses a fixed button layout, anything you change in the gamepad setup is ignored. A and B buttons are swapped compared to the standard Xbox 360 controller setup and you can't change them back.

Sigh, they got my hopes up and then broke something else... Really hope they patch it so we can set our buttons, having to use start and select for macros is far more preferable than having my confirm and cancel inverted..
