I have a wireless afterglow ps3 controller that i wanted to use as a PC controller. I was excited when i plugged in the usb dongle into the PC and the controller actually worked after a generic driver install! But after a quick attempt to emulate a xbox 360 controller i realized that the analog triggers were only recognized as a digital button.
Since the KB3081424 and KB2993928 updates, my Ps3 Fightstick stopped working properly. The stick is detected by windows and shows up in the devices and printers as 'PC USB Wired Stick 8838', which is consistent with what I had before and worked fine yesterday before the update.
I know for a fact that this stick uses USB 1.1 and therefore requires UHCI compliant hardware. My computer has both USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports, the USB 2.0 not being UHCI compliant and the USB 3.0 being xHCI compliant which is why I was using the latter to connect the stick.
The problem :
Windows, that is the game controller settings properties test interface, is not picking up any input from the stick. This is what used to happen when trying to make the stick work on a USB 2.0. My guess is that the update broke something in the USB 3.0 xHCI support.
I tried :
Install Ps3 Driver
- The automatic troubleshooting method, which tells me to change the stick from USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 (which does not work - same symptoms and no solution from the automatic troubleshooter).
