This controller is working for racing games while it is not working for any action game and online game. But why?

could be a compatibility issue - most PC games with controller compatibility are set up to take on-brand xbox controllers, which have a particular kind of input. a lot of off-brand usb controllers have a different kind of input. since the game is set up to only recognize one kind of input, it wont recognize the off-brand controller as a controller at all. x360ce is a controller emulator program you can use to solve this problem. it switches the input so that the game recognizes the controller as a controller. i used it and it worked - you can find the program and tutorials on how to use it with google. it could also be because the controller isnt very good and just doesnt work.

You might be able to play a few games but not too many. Minecraft isnt one of them. The controller does not have left or right bumps and the left and right sticks. Its mainly just for racing. I cant do EVERYTHING on froza 3. To fine tune my cars i have to use a regular controller. The racing wheel has GREAT response to racing games though. I was very impressed.

Yes, it works with many, most or all simulators. Using standard wheel and pedal USB drivers. Works with NFS, SRW and F1 so far. Should work for most othets. Takes up very little desk space, which was a major selling point for me.

it should just kind of plug in. it will automatically install updates to your computer like a mouse or a printer would and then you start certain game platforms and its either compatible or it isn't. With certain games like star wars battlefront you can tell it exactly what buttons you want to do what, but with this controller a lot of the buttons were being interpreted as the same button like one on the number pad was left on the d pad and so fourth so you couldn't use parts of the controller. overall i got fed up with it.

Depends on the game. Even some game that say "full controller support" don't work completely since it isn't an xbox controller. But there are some games that work even if it says "partial controller support." I would say check the games you play first, or you can get it and get it to work using programs like the other answer mentions.

If the controller is in "Xinput" mode, then most recent games (Including Assassin's Creed 3) will already have the buttons set for you. :)

Controllers work with any vehicle. All you have to do is wire them up. I had nothing but problems with the one I purchased. So, it went in the trash. I got one that cost a little more and have had no problems at all. I guess the old saying that You get what you pay for is true.

I do not know. As I have a same gamepad long ago (which I bought with $4), the driver has already been installed to my PC. So I can use this one directly without installing the driver.

Update: I tried E.Manns' guide but it still did not work. Then 3 days later I gave the controller another shot and it worked, so E.Manns' guide also fixed my problem. Thanks for giving us your insight E.Mann. I hope everyone's problem with this controller has also been resolved.

In regards to steam, it is functional if the game supports generic controllers. Many steam games when they say controller support, they only mean XBOX 360 controller support. So it really depends on the game. For instance I played rogue legacy with a sega saturn adapter and SS controller, and it worked great. The game Fez however had a number of problems regsitering other controllers than an xbox 360 one. As far as not registering, I couldn't say. I am running x64 windows 7 which in terms of driver support is usually identical, and I had no problems just plugging it in and having it detected as USB Genesis controller or something like that under devices and printers.

It should be plug and play but if some reason a driver is corrupt, for example, you can go to microsoft's hardware site a download the driver package for the controller.

You may have to use a different controller to see if that one is the problem. I had to switch controllers as one was broken.

This is a fairly difficult question to answer. What kind of controller are you using?

he drivers will randomly work with different games randomly and there's nothing you can do about it unless you write your own drivers. If you want a better device get the xbox wireless receiver for computer and it works with regular Xbox controllers and you can use four on one wireless adapter. I gave up on the 3gc device cause it's crap. The wireless receiver uses microsoft drivers so it works with everything. Just search amazon for hde wireless usb xbox receiver and you'll find it.

Hi we have the same problem. i bought two for my boys and the same controller runs both cars. so---no nothing that we know of to do. looks like it could be done but I don't know how (I am the MIMI and don't know electronics though---someone else might be better to answer it).
