Hi, any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to connect a wired third-party PS3 controller (product here) to my Windows 10 laptop, but it's basically non-functional. My laptop didn't automatically install any drivers for the controller when I connected it, but it did recognise it as being there ("Gamepad" showed up in Devices & Printers, etc.).
After that, I followed this guide, and a new icon called "Xbox 360 Controller for Windows" showed up in Devices & Printers. The problem is that even though my laptop recognises the controller's there, and thinks it's an Xbox controller, it doesn't seem to register button input. When I go into Game Controller Settings and click Properties, nothing in the Test tab responds at all. (For some reason, the only exception is when I hold down Square and then press other stuff -- then it recognises some input, but in a very erratic way, because what I'm pressing clearly doesn't match what's on-screen.)
I did find a couple of comments about getting this particular controller to work with a PC, but they weren't very helpful:
"you need the open source software called Toca Edit X360. Its an emulator which lets windows recognize it. Once youve got the software installed use Steam's big picture mode to assign the keys how you like them and you're good to go!"
"I have this controller working on my Windows 10 laptop. You may need to download & install the "xbox 360 controller driver" Then after plugging in the USB cable, from the control panel select "Set up USB controllers". You will see "USB GAME PAD" listed. Under properties you can check all the pad buttons are working."
The bottom one doesn't describe my experience at all (the pad buttons aren't working), and I looked up Toca Edit X360 but I can't really work out what I'm supposed to do with it.
Thank you for any help!
NOTE: I've figured this out. For anyone else having the same problem, make sure that Windows' Driver Signature Verification is DISABLED (done via the advanced boot options menu -- there are guides for this online). After that, I followed this guide, which I believe uses an older version of the SCP drivers/installer (i.e. not the Nefarius ones).
