Supplier: Apex Interactive Website: See all results. It offers good value for money, and even though I still prefer a wireless controller, not having to keep batteries charged is a small blessing.
#PDP WIRED CONTROLLER STICK CALIBRATION SOFTWARE#
The software allows you to customise the button layout, set the vibration strength and configure audio settings. This has actually proven to be quite useful in-game. Simply press the small button situated just below the right thumb-stick and toggle the options on the D-pad. One feature that stands out on this controller is its built-in 3. Feedback from the triggers feels great, while the grips on the thumb sticks feel good for a budget controller. The crimson-red model I tested features a cool-looking see-through shell on top, and a black underside.

It has a 2.Īnd on that note: yes, this controller supports Windows too. The PDP wired controller is a pretty good alternative to the original from Microsoft and costs almost half the pricebut how does it fair on the battlefield? First up, as a wired controller it feels quite a bit lighter than its battery-wielding brethren. However the controllers' inputs still arent recognized by the system (jstest-gtk or Steam) until "Indentified" in Steam.Surely no-one gets THAT upset about video games? Never mind then. Xpad module now loads on startup and doesnt require sudo modprobe xpad every time. $ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/nf and removed the line "blacklist xpad". Still didn't fix the xpad module not autoloading on startup. I never use xpad so i removed it $ sudo apt remove xpad. The ~/.config/xpad directory was set to root permissions so user could not access. The error message on startup i believe was from the xpad package, not the module. Then still the only way their inputs are registered is to "Identify" them in Steam. Still get the xpad error about the ~/.config/xpad directory on system startup and must run sudo modprobe xpad to get the controllers to show up in jstest-gtk/Steam. That definitely solved the issue with the mouse input being overridden, so thank you! I removed xboxdrv and xserver-xorg-input-joystick and made sure joystick and jstest-gtk were both on the current version. Xserver-xorg-input-joystick = 1:1.6.3-1build1

Possibly relevant system and driver specs below: Thanks in advance to anyone able to point me in the right direction. #3 why do the controllers' inputs then override the system's cursor after playing/streaming a game? #2 why are none of the controllers' inputs recognized until Steam sends them a vibrate command? #1 what is with the xpad error message on start up, and is there a way i can set the xpad module to automatically initialize on startup?
The only way i have found to rectify it is to reboot the system via keyboard/terminal or choosing Restart System in the Steam Menu. If i hold the Xbox button on the controller until the Steam menu pops up and use the dpad to exit steam, the mouse continues to exhibit the same behaviour even on the desktop. Holding either stick down on either gamepad will cause the upward input for the cursor to move slower, but not stop. Moving the mouse down will move the cursor down but you have to fight the upward input. It constantly scrolls the mouse cursor to the top of the screen. However after i close whichever game, the PC's mouse does not work properly, sort of like the gamepads' axes are overriding or conflicting with the mouse's axes with a constant up input. Play/stream a game and the 2 controllers then work properly and independently, couch co-op ftw.
Each controller will vibrate and their inputs will then be recognized by the system. So Steam sees them just like jstest-gtk, but the only way i can find to get the controllers' inputs to actually register is if I select each controller in the Steam settings screen and click "Identify" for each. Go into Steam's "General Controller Settings" and under Detected Controllers: Open Big Picture mode and neither controller's inputs are registered, only mouse and keyboard. If i then open up Steam, it recognizes i am using a controller and suggests Big Picture mode. Sudo modprobe xpad and then refresh the list in jstest-gtk the 2 controllers show up:īut in the properties windows in jstest-gtk, none of either controller's inputs are registered.
