Engine software won't recognize my controller. It says: Please Connect a SteelSeries Engine - compatible device to start. FAQs didn't help. Solution?

I still haven't gotten it to work on my computer! The only thing I have found it works on(outside of android phones which support everything, even a playstation controller) is an iphone that has the small amount of games that the controller is compatible with. Sadly most of the games are very stupid and are only designed for young kids to play. If you go to their website you will see which games it can be used on.

I couldn't get mine to work with my Microsoft surface pro 2. I had people much more computer literate than me try to figure it out, no one did. I had to send it back. sorry i couldn't be more help.

Sounds like the PC or machine isn't recognizing the connection to the device. Your cord may be broken? I'd maybe manually install drivers online I guess. I returned mine; it's completely too small to use--great design though. Connecting to a PC?

it works really well, their site is goofy and convoluted but read carefully only engine 2. whatever works with the free

I am currently trying to get it to work, the software loads fine but I cannot get the computer to recognize the sensor. I sent an email to the manufacturer, will let you know if I get a response.

yes it is since in the steelseries website you will see while downloading the upgrade engine there is a mac version

When I bought mine, it was a gift to someone else - and think it was so complicated that he never even got it working in XP. Win 8.1? Pretty new OS - may be worth checking a Belkin Nostromo SppedPad N52 User's Forum - I assume there's one out there somewhere. Try an XP-rated game in Win 8.1 - if it runs, the controller might, too.

Let me know if you get it working. Don't use a USB hub. Connect the controller directly to the PC.

I had the same issue but you go into the settings and set it up to work. Should go to the steering wheel icon if I'm not mistaken.

Spend a few more bucks and get a logitech gamepad. You'll get much better drivers and customer support. This one is kind of a pain in the butt.

You might want to check in their website http://www.axxessinterface.com/steering_wheel_control_new.aspxI don't know the firmware you device came with

Absolutely give it another try! I also had to return my original for a defect, but my replacement is doing fine. I just can't race Forza 5 without it. Racing with a controller makes no sense.

Try unplugging the controller from the outlet. Let it reset for 30 seconds or so and plug it back in. I use this unit regularly on projects and that has worked for me in the past.

You should contact steelseries directly, try it with an email or looking for a customer service number on their webpage: www.steelseries.comA receiptwill be asked so you better have it on your hands at the time you make thecall or ask for information.

Saitek always provides the appropriate drivers, or at least makes them available to download, but you can just use Windows' to configure them under Game Controller > Properties. It is a common enough product that Windows also may recognize automatically and install it's own drivers.

I havent tried it, but I checked the steelseries site, and the driver states win 7 as the latest. I believe it works on 8.0 though. There is a wireless one that has updated kernel drivers, but it is very expensive.

How did you get it to register? I tried leaving it plugged in to my pc to see if it would just get the bluetooth signal...and i tried plugging in the dongle into the PS3. It just keeps scanning. Im using the Dinovo Edge and MX Revolution. It doesnt see either. I checked the updated on the PS3 and it says I have the latest version.

I have the F310, and it works just fine with steam. As they use the same software it should be fine too. As for deadzone problem, I don't think I had any problems of that nature with any of my logitech gamepads.

I actually haven't tried that out, I can test it out in a bit. Update: I have tested it on Ubuntu 12.04. Nothing extra to do for the controller or adapter to be detected. I gave it a go on the zsnes emulator and configured the inputs and it worked out fine for every button. Played Super Mario World on it and everything responded like it would when I'm using windows. I have yet to try other games/programs on Ubuntu.

Sorry...using my two in simple mode no controller...if both are not responding...I would try another device to see if that can be controlled by your controller... if so, and neither of these two work...it must be protocol or set up issues.... I would research each manual. Sorry cant give more.
