Xbox Series X|S Gamepad Type

[StouterTaru]

From the patch notes:

A new gamepad type has been added under Gamepad Settings in the System Configuration menu (Windows®/Mac).
* This gamepad type corresponds to Xbox Series X|S controls.
* Settings will take effect upon logging back in.

I bought a wireless XBox controller a year ago, and the right analog didn't center properly and was constantly rotating the camera very slowly. Also, R2+L2 and L2+R2 never worked right. When plugged it everything worked fine, so I've left it plugged in

Anyone know if this is a fix for that?

Does your PC detect it as xinput? I had a similar issue with my 8BitDo pro2 controller, until I managed to fix it in xinput mode. You can check what is it detected as with this link https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad

After doing that, however, I had to calibrate the controller in FFXIV settings and haven't had issues since.

I doubt this is a fix for that issue. I expect this is just a UI update to display an image of that particular controller in the configuration menu.

I fix the drift issue on my Xbox X controller using Steam to increase the deadzone on the right stick. As such, I always load the game through Steam. (I generally load every game through Steam to take advantage of its many PC controller issue fixes.)

I'll have to check when I get home. I looked for a new driver and tried to change Windows 10 settings and FFXIV settings, but the calibration was non-existent or didn't do anything. From what I remember, Windows saw it as a different controller between wired/wireless mode

Correct. Windows does treat the Xbox controllers differently when wired/wireless. (Well done Microsoft. FFS) This does cause an Xinput problem as Rehayem says. This is another issue that Steam can correct by emulating an Xbox 360 controller regardless of what type you're actually using.

As a non-Steam user, I guess I'll have to look into a controller emulator

Bluetooth: HID-compliant game controller (STANDARD GAMEPAD Vendor: 045e Product: 0b13)
Wired: Xbox Controller Xbox 360 Controller (XInput STANDARD GAMEPAD)

Found something on Reddit that I'm trying: https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxinsider...mment/hk1yk6b/

Instructions for anyone that might have a similar issue and want to try it:

• Device Manager (need admin rights)
• Expand "Human Interface Devices"
• Double-click "HID-compliant game controller"
• Update Driver
• Browse for it
• Let Me Pick
• Uncheck "Show Compatible Hardware"
• Microsoft on left menu and Xbox whatever on the right menu (XBox One Elite Wireless Controller seems to work for me, Xbox Wireless Controller and Xbox One Wireless Controller did not)
• Next
• Yes I understand this might be bad
• Close stuff and restart computer

Currently Bluetooth: Xbox Controller Xbox One Elite Wireless Controller (STANDARD GAMEPAD Vendor: 045e Product: 0b13)

I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see if it works properly

There are a few options out there. Xinput emulation is a pretty big issue with PS4 and Switch controllers becoming so ubiquitous. That alone may not solve the deadzone issue though.

Unfortunately that problem only happens in FFXIV for me so I can't test out any alternative solutions for you. For now just wait and see what happens after the update.

According to hardwaretester.com it's homing out after spinning the ananlogs around at

Bluetooth:
AXIS 0 -0.00807 AXIS 1 -0.02730 AXIS 2 0.00752 AXIS 3 0.01506

Wired:
AXIS 0 0.00304 AXIS 1 0.01463 AXIS 2 0.00148 AXIS 3 0.01256

Numbers look similar enough, minimum for both around 0.015, so I'm hopeful that it's enough to get rid of the drunk camera motion

Not looking good, disconnect/reconnect and computer restart cause it to show up with issues in Device Manager. This road appears like it will require me to set it up every single time I play

Oh hey someone else had the same issue and no mention of resolution:

So i bought a new xbox wireless controller so I could use it on PC. I am having some issues I have been unable to resolve. I know how the controller works as I play on playstation sometimes so i know how to set up things like the extended cross hotbars etc...

I have three issues really. 1: I set up the expanded cross hot bar where when you press RT then LT is brings up another bar of your choosing. This just wont display at all. Its almost like when i press the second trigger it cancels out.

2: I have some major camera drift and haven't a clue how to remove it. Tried some fixes i've seen on the internet but it seems like is a problem with the pc version not handling new controllers well.

3: The controller disconnects often in Final Fantasy only. Not sure why

Anyone have any ideas on this issue or if its a known issue?
