    Xbox controller's analog sticks and triggers are the only buttons working


    HI i'm having a very large problem

    i have a 20th edition Xbox series x controller and recently an issue has occurred on pc where my controllers face buttons, d-pad and shoulder buttons have completely stopped working

    the only thing working are the analog sticks and the triggers

    can someone please help as this is my only controller and i really cant afford a replacement and it is a very rare controller

    I've tried updating, using wired ,different batteries and completely disconnecting and reconnecting but nothing works

    for some context i don't have an Xbox

    :)

    Can I add suggestion or talk to a Xbox official or something similar?

    So you want the xbox controller too have 24 buttons,2 analog sticks,2 bumpers and 2 triggers?

    With Kinect being released I think they're trying too get away from controllers

    In most cases, the Analog sticks and the 'A' Button work worst.
    I would always expect the analogue sticks, A button and the LT/RT trigger to go first as they do take a pounding in almost every game.

    "all digital mode" for button remapping.

    There are only 2 predefined settings that are uneditable on Sge Genesis Classics, and I was under the default control scheme in the Xbox 1 Joystick OS.

    If this is the fight stick arrangement, and assuming buttons and triggers are not cross mappable:

    B B B B

    B B T T

    Becuase the triggers are only swappable with each other and are always > and <, ut’s impossible to remap to get this:

    B B B T

    B B B T

    Even with the Xbox One Joystick OS

    The only way you can do it is to make an "all digital mode" where the triggers are remappable as digital buttons both to and from the triggers.

    Also what about the flip X axis on analog sticks?

    Where can I submit my Fight Stick design for Xbox or an Xbox 3rd Party to use

    First of all I was talking about submitting it to a company to make it an official licensed thing on Xbox.

    Second my personal design does run through an Xbox Adaptive controller so it is running off an official Xbox PCB. So for both our purposes I'm playing off an official Xbox controller but I'm thinking this might be a good Mass Market design.

    Third the idea of 180ing regular fight stick is exactly my design except that the button contour made so that it's easily 180able. Trying to reverse a regular fight stick doesn't help much because the contour would be against the grain of your wrist.

    Fourth and final thing: it would be easier to remap a standard fight stick if the buttons were all reassignable.

    The main problem is that left triggered right trigger can only be reassigned with each other and none of the other buttons.

    If the game doesn't require analog triggers then maybe there should be a checkbox in the Xbox accessories app called fightstick mode or All Digital buttons mode where if you're willing to (temporarily) get rid of the analogness of the two triggers then what you gain back is the ability to remap them freely with all the other buttons and joystick directions.

    Accessibility issue 1 that more than 10% of the public will care about: Genesis style COntorls on Genesi Classics

    Maybe you can try use this Guide -> How to customize an Xbox One Wireless Controller with the Xbox
    Accessories app
    Yes, I know t could work. You don't need an Elite conrtroller for it to work. Heck you don't even need a Microsoft-made controller.

    I remapped buttons on the Power A "ring finger" Wired USB pad, where digital controls can be mapped to each other. Plus the ring finger buttons (as a function of the Power A controller) can be any button including a digitized version of a trigger.

    (P.S. To any joystick hacker who doesn't know how to do analog to digital conversions: would maybe programming the ring finger buttons to be LT and RT and using those programmed digitized buttons to wire a fight stick come in handy? You don't need the analog
    trigger to digital button conversion. That is as long as the memory feature of the ring finger buttons isn't destroyed n the stick making process.)

    i

    Heck, Even my PS2 Street Fighter 15th Anniversary Stick plugged into a PS2-> Xbox One controller adapter does work with the Xbox button OS.

    But they are all limited by the same problem of only LT and RT are swappable with each other. The only way that can be avoided is to have a checkbox for "all digital/Fight Stick Mode"

    Sorry. I just corrected spelling, grammar, and a couple ambiguous sentences.
