I bought a nice, new ps4 controller and ego shooters play so much better instead of a common keyboard.
Some of my games use xbox-controller specific configurations, and:
- misplace buttons
- don’t see many buttons at all.
Since controllers are very user specific and I really like Ps4 controllers, I am NOT going to buy a xbox controller just to play some of my games (Dishonored 2, Achilles Legends untold, Mirrors edge, etc). Also I don’t want to use the keyboard anymore for these titles forcing me to use an xbox controller.
Usually a keyboard remap is the very best choice, in fact it works great because you can configure buttons as you like, vs xbox controller preset configs. The problem arises when your game detects a gamepad and switches automatically from keyboard input to controller input AND you cannot deactivate the controller input.
So I tried a remedy installing xboxdrv
but was unable to get it working with my ps4 controller. After setup, xboxdrv tells me always errors like:
No Xbox or Xbox360 controller found
Damn, I know myself my controller is a ps4 one but I know also xboxdrv is able to detect ps4 controllers too, not just xbox controllers.
The best solution would be to deactivate controller input in all games all times. So my controller could use reliably and always the settings of my keyboard and mouse input.
Is it possible to deactivate controllers completely?
Some games allow you to deactivate controller input in the game preferences itself or their preference files on disk, usually they are found in *.ini
files.
