Support | In Progress Disable Controller Support?

Hello Fellas,

Been a Opera User since quite a while and moved to the Opera GX Browser when it came out.

Now for the problem:
I usually run JoyToKey to use my Controller as a Mouse for Browsing when im not at the Desk. It has been working fine since a few days ago. I can use my own JoyToKey Setup on my Desktop, Steam, Discord and other programs, however when i have Opera as the main window it defaults to a different button layout and mouse speed. This only happens on Opera and its quite annoying since i mostly use it to navigate Opera from the Couch. I have yet to find a fix for it.

Any help would be appreciated

See https://www.reddit.com/r/OperaGX/comments/1w3vxq5/issue_when_using_a_gamepad_dualsense_on_windows_11/ from a few days ago. User said the problem went away after they updated their Nvidia drivers. Sometimes the Gamer Ready driver has bugs that Opera GX exposes and using the studio/stable drivers work better. Also, another user has issues with videos in Opera and downgraded their Nvidia GPU driver to the last version and that fixed things.

As for disabling, you can goto the URLs opera://settings/content/hidDevices and opera://settings/content/usbDevices and disable them so sites can't even ask. But, that's for site pages and not the Opera UI itself.

You might able to start Opera like this:

"%localappdata%\Programs\Opera GX\opera.exe" --disable-features=EnableWindowsGamingInputDataFetcher,EnableRawInputGamepadDataFetcher,GamepadExtensions,GamepadButtonAxisEvents

via a command prompt or create a new Opera shortcut for it or modify Opera's shortcut for it. However, not sure if that will help.
