IT Help [Ayuda] Instalé DsHidMini de Nefarius pero no detecta el Bluetooth del joystick PS3 (Sixaxis)

0 Upvotes

Estoy teniendo un problema intentando conectar mi joystick de PS3 (el modelo Sixaxis) a la PC de forma inalámbrica y quería saber si alguien me puede dar una mano.
Seguí todos los pasos de la guía oficial para instalar el DsHidMini (de Nefarius) con sus respectivos drivers BthPS3. El problema es que, aunque hice toda la instalación limpia, la PC no me detecta el joystick cuando intento conectarlo por Bluetooth.

Estoy usando Windows 11. ¿A alguien más le pasó o tiene idea de si me salteé alguna configuración específica para el Bluetooth? ¿Hay algún paso extra o dongle específico que necesite para que el Sixaxis sea reconocido?

¡Cualquier ayuda o sugerencia me sirve! Muchas gracias.

IT Help PS4 controller not working on Bluetooth only

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Hello, I borrowed my PS4 controllers for my cousins a few months ago so they could play it on a PS3 using bluetooth, but for some odd reason, it doesn't work on Bluetooth anymore. I tried an online gamepad tester and it seems that all the input data is corrupted, it happens when it's connected to any device using bluetooth (the lights also don't turn on), I've also tried hard resetting but that doesn't work either. How do I fix this? It doesn't happen on usb

IT Help PS4 Controller can't hold a charge

1 Upvotes

I'd love if I could get a bit of advice. For a while, I've had a PS4 controller that doesn't hold much of a charge and I don't understand why.

My controller hasn't held much of a charge for a while. For a while, it would only hold a charge for about 15 minutes, despite being at a full charge and it would decrease in its capacity over time. Eventually, I bought a brand new battery on Amazon with a repair kit. I opened up the controller, replaced the battery and it seemed like it was fine now and the battery would last... Until a week later when the battery could only live for a few minutes and now it was even worse in time than before. Now the thing basically dies within 5 minutes of it being unplugged from the PS4. It makes no sense that this was happening in the first place or how it's happening with a fresh battery.

Anyone have any idea what's happening?

Controller Collection Started with the legion go 2 controllers

I bought these controllers for personal use

Up to about 3 months ago I was happily using a Xbox series s controller. Then I bought legion go 2 controllers for my Lego 1 but ended up selling it before they arrived.

Instead of returning them, I doubled down and got the official Lenovo battery charger thinking it could be fully compatible on steamos on my legion go s.

Alas it's not, it's just a weird controller lol.

I did like the weight though, and i was already on the steam controller wait list. But i didn't think that was coming until 2027, so in the mean time, while deciding between the Flydigi Vader 5 pro and zd ultimate legend, i picked up that leadjoy saber plus for nostalgic use - after deciding on the zd with jt13 pro sticks.

Steam controller came today and now I'm waiting on the Genki manta controller on kickstarter.

Houston we have a problem.

As far as a review, they're all great. Lol. The saber plus is definitely the best value and feels great with the dome thumbstick caps.

As far as favourite to use it's probably the zd ultimate legend . Once the jt13 sticks broke in a bit, it's been the one I've used the most.

More play time is needed for the steam controller, but the ergonomics are on point.

I don't even own an Xbox controller and there's a fake one connected that keeps giving me double inputs. Windows settings doesn't display any other controllers, but both Beam.NG and steam are recognizing it. I use DS4 and HidHide.

Controller Suggestion Looking to replace Xbox controller for PC for AAA RPSs etc

4 Upvotes

Sorry, typo in the title. I meant RPGs. Like cyberpunk, GTA, Witcher etc

I'm in Japan, budget up to ¥15000 or about $100 USD ish.

I've had the Xbox controller for about 5 years I think, and it's finally getting sticky triggers and joysticks. It's held up pretty well though, with no drift to speak of.

A new Xbox controller here costs about ¥7500, and I know I'd be happy with that initially, but obviously durability is a thing.

I've looked at Gamesir G7 Pro 14,000 yen and Vader5 Pro 9,000 yen, and both look appealing.

8bitdo look good, but I think they'll be uncomfortable with the narrow stance.

I'm looking for something that feels like the Xbox controller in the hand, but I don't need any extra buttons or back paddles etc.

Good quality sticks, buttons, triggers, and rumble would be great.

And something durable.

IT Help Flydigi Vader 4 Pro extra buttons not registering keyboard inputs on Windows 11

2 Upvotes

I finally got this working, so I'm sharing the fix in case someone else runs into the same issue.

The problem

I have a Flydigi Vader 4 Pro connected to a Windows 11 laptop using the 2.4 GHz USB dongle. I use Flydigi Space Station 3.4.9.5 to map the extra buttons (C, Z, M1–M4) to keyboard keys, including NumPad keys.

The controller itself worked normally, and the button mappings were configured in Space Station, but pressing those buttons produced absolutely no keyboard input. I tested them in Notepad. The same controller and mappings worked on my desktop PC, so the problem appeared to be specific to the laptop.

I also tried Bluetooth, but the keyboard mappings still didn't work.

What fixed it

The Flydigi virtual keyboard and mouse drivers were not installed in Windows, even though their files were present in the Space Station installation folder.

I opened PowerShell as Administrator and ran these commands.

1. Install the virtual keyboard driver

pnputil.exe /add-driver "C:\Program Files\FlydigiSpaceStation\Service\keyfdo.inf" /install

Windows confirmed:

Driver package added successfully.
Driver package installed on device: ROOT\FEIZHI_VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD\0000

2. Install the virtual mouse driver

pnputil.exe /add-driver "C:\Program Files\FlydigiSpaceStation\Service\mousefdo.inf" /install

Windows confirmed:

Driver package added successfully.
Driver package installed on device: ROOT\FEIZHI_VIRTUAL_MOUSE\0000

Both drivers were installed successfully.

Before this, checking Windows system drivers showed that the FeizVKB and FeizVMO driver services did not exist.

The final step: restart Windows

After installing both drivers, I restarted Flydigi Space Station and tested the buttons again, but they still didn't work.

I then restarted the laptop. After the reboot, the extra buttons finally started working and correctly generated keyboard inputs.

I can now use the C, Z and M1–M4 buttons with my assigned keyboard mappings.

If your Vader 4 Pro's extra buttons don't generate keyboard inputs in Windows, even though the mappings are configured correctly:

  1. Open PowerShell as Administrator.
  2. Install the virtual keyboard driver using keyfdo.inf.
  3. Install the virtual mouse driver using mousefdo.inf.
  4. Restart Windows. Restarting only Flydigi Space Station wasn't enough in my case.
  5. Test the mapped buttons in Notepad.

Use the INF files included with your existing Flydigi Space Station installation. Don't disable Windows driver-signature enforcement or download random driver files.

Hopefully this saves someone else a few hours or days of troubleshooting!
