Greetings Borascythe,

I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble using a controller for FINAL FANTASY XIV. If you believe that this is not a USB port issue, nor the controller itself, it may be a compatibility issue. Does the specific controller that you are using have any driver updates available for it? Additionally, what platform are you playing FINAL FANTASY XIV Online?

We hope to be of assistance with this! Thank you for posting in the FINAL FANTASY XIV Technical Support Forums.
