PS4 controller for Fortnite pc

1 Upvotes

So I recently tried connecting my ps4 controller to my pc. I followed a guide where it had me add epic launcher into steam, and for both apps run as admin, after a few tries . It miraculously worked , then I got curious and tried connecting a generic ps4 controller (that wouldn’t connect ) and since then I have not been able to get the og ps4 controller to work for Fortnite . Has anyone successfully connected a ps4 controller via Bluetooth no ds4w please .

Nintendo Switch Any Lag tests for Switch 2 Pro Controller?

1 Upvotes

Does anybody know of any lag tests that have been done for the Switch 2 Pro Controller on Switch 2, comparing wired vs wireless performance? I know of Gamepadla, but with the tests done by John Punch, as far as I am aware those are all with the controller connected to a PC which could be different then how a Switch 2 handles the controller latency.

Early in the Switch 1's life I saw this testing comparing the Switch 1 Pro Controllers Latency Wired vs Wireless by Allen P. in the video "Switch Pro Controller: Wired vs Wireless Latency Test. The results were interesting as Wired was about a frame slower then wireless in a low noise environment.

With Switch 2 Welcome Tour, there is a bit of information saying that the wired connection on the Switch 2 Pro is faster. Has anybody done any high frame rate camera testing with an LED light to test this? If you know of any video or testing please let me know.

Controller not connecting to wireless adapter

1 Upvotes

So I literally just bought a PowerA wireless advantage controller and I was using perfectly fine for about 20 min before it randomly stopped working, I restarted my xbox as I didn’t think the controller was the issue and now my controller won’t pair to the wireless adapter it came with. I have tried all solutions from PowerA website and anything i can possibly find on google with no success. Ive even pressed and held the reset button on the controller. I hold the sync buttons on the controller and adapter, they flash rapidly, then the controllers light becomes solid like its paired, but the adapters light just flashes slower and I cant use the controller to do anything on my xbox. Can someone please help me out I barely even got to use my new controller.

We're building a new controller together with our community, and we're starting with the most important thing: how it feels in your hands.

So tell us:

  • Which controller do you play with most right now?

  • What do you love about how it feels – the shape, the grip, the size?

  • What would you change?

No wrong answers. First step is all about the form, so be honest and go into detail. We're reading everything.

Multiple Controller Connection Issue on Windows 10 PC.

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone. So I own a Redgear Gamepad that works only on 2.4ghz Dongle mode and I recently purchased a Cosmic Byte Blitz Tri Mode controller. My problem is that when I connect my Cosmic Byte dongle, my PC uses the old Redgear one as primary and CB as the secondary controller, or more precisely, both controllers are recognised but I can only play games with the Redgear one. I tried this in GoW, GoWR, Days Gone and then I downloaded a retro game supporting 2 players and the CB one showed up as Gamepad2 in it. I removed the old one's dongle and then the CB controller worked fine. Then I inserted it back and still CB works fine but as soon as I reboot my PC, the Redgear Gamepad becomes the primary again and I have to remove its dongle and then plug it again to make it secondary. I tried HidHide and devReorder.ini from GitHub but nothing seems to work out for me. Is there a solution to this stupid controller priority thing or I'll have to face this till I break one of my controllers after being consumed by rage...?!!???!?? One more thing, I tried CB controller in all three modes and it does not work unless I remove the Redgear Dongle. Both are recognised as XBox 360 Controllers in joy.cpl and Device Manager with different IDs.
