    How to connect controller


    Hi, i really need help with a problem im facing with controller.

    Ive been playing with a pc for 2 years, most games on mk, some with controller.

    A couple of months ago, i was trying to get my controller to work for a game, and as apparently its a common issue, i had to watch a couple of guides on how to fix it ("camera spinning with controller ds2").

    2 guides were about "device management", with tips like "eliminate controller" and "add it back", "check drivers", "use input mapper"/"ds4windows".

    1 guide, instead told me to use steam (game is not from steam), it suggested me to add it to the library and try from there.

    Nothing worked, and i gave up.

    From that moment, my controller stopped working: if i connect it with usb, it shows up on device manager but no game seems to recognize it. Ds4windows and input mapper dont recognize it either, nor steam ofc.

    I watched more guides, tried steam's big picture mode, uninstalled both ds4windows and input mapper...

    I really have no idea why it stopped working, and its very frustrating to spend hours trying to find the key to my problem.

    If anyone could help me, it would make my entire life a bit happier.

    Also, when i connect it with bluetooth, everything seems fine (light appears, noice, bluetooth manager shows that controller is connected) but nothing works.

    I dont remember exactly what those guides made me do, nor what ds4windows and input mapper did, but i dont think i touched any strange setting.

    Maybe i did something on the control panel?

    Im using a lenovo ideapad gaming (laptop), controller is a simple ds4 from my ps4.

    :)

    Help! Controller won’t connect to phone

    The Xbox One Controllers developed and certified with Apple’s MFi (Made For iPhone/iPad) certification will work with games that have implemented MFi Controller support. This is just like how Apple certifies other iPhones/iPad accessories, like Lightning
    cables.

    Some of these Controllers include an increase that locks your iPhone in place, allowing you to use the iPhone like a portable game console, holding the controller in your hands. Some drivers use MFi to a physical connection, so you need to connect to the
    Flash port on your iPhone or iPad. Though, only the most MFi drivers connect wirelessly via Bluetooth, such as a Bluetooth headset or keyboard.

    Now we see how an Xbox Controller to connect to your iPhone or iPad.

    First, you’ll need to insert the controller in pairing mode

    Now, turn on the Xbox wireless controller via the Xbox Button

    Which headset is it? How is it connected? If it is connected via the controller, then generally you would lose some functions.

    I use anArctis 7 headset connected via controller and all the options are greyed out...I use the Controller Audio Adapter
