I recently picked up a PC/XBox360 wireless controller to use with XIV, but they seem to get along very strangely. If I start the game with the gamepad on, the game has no problem accepting commands from it. However, if the gamepad goes to sleep, and I pick it back up, the game no longer responds to it.

At first, I thought this was, while obnoxious, normal - but upon fiddling around with the config menu, I've found that maybe 1/20 times, swapping the keyboard into Chat Only and back made the game start accepting the gamepad again.

This fix is extremely unreliable and doesn't work 19/20 times.

Is there anything else I can do?

What gives?
