Windows 10: Logitech Gamepad F310 not detected

Hi folks,


I come with an issue I've spent hours trying to solve, to no avail.


I own a Logitech F310 that's been working fine until I had to clean-install windows 10 yesterday. Now the thing won't connect.

When I plug it in I get nothing, not the chime that you hear when you plugged an USB, not the chime you hear when you UNplug an USB. I don't get a message saying the USB is not recognized, I don't get anything. I have three USB ports in my laptop (HP Pavilion gaming), and the three of them work for every other hardware I plug in, except for this gamepad. The gamepad works fine in other computers too. I've been looking online for solutions to this, so far I've tried:


1. Switching back and forth from X to D input

2. Re-installing USB drivers

3. Changing USB power settings (unchecked "allow to turn off to save energy" and disabled "selective suspend setting"

4. Power cycling

5. Do all this after a clean boot

6. Installing the Logitech official driver and software, in which during a stage it does try to recognize plugged in gamepads. During recognition I hear the chime of USB plugging in, and immediately after the chime of USB unplugging. The software ends saying I don't have a gamepad connected.


None of these work. NOW, this one time when I did a clean boot AND from a clean boot I used the Logitech software I did get it to work for a while (even played PES for a few minutes), but it disconnected by itself and never worked again.


The only thing I haven't tried yet is to re-install Windows 10, which I don't want to do because its a bit cumbersome.


If anyone has any idea or clue about this mystery, it will be appreciated.


Thanks !!

:)

F310 Gamepad detects as HID Keyboard and mouse (Windows 10)

I have a Logitech 310 Gamepad and windows 10. Sometimes the device works, but very rarely and I have no idea what triggers it to work properly.

Most of the time, the controller registers as an HID Mouse and an HID Keyboard (though I gather that it's supposed to show up as a Gamepad F310 when using X-input or Dual Action gamepad when using D-input).

Occasionally the gamepad gets detected properly and it works like it should. Sometimes this happens after waiting a while with it plugged in. Other times it's in the midst of flipping switches and settings. The gamepad has never worked immediately after being plugged in.

I have run the provided software (for windows 10, 64 bit), but the readme does not list windows 10 as an OS that it was designed for and it's dated 2010.
I have rebooted with the controller plugged in.
I have switched which USB port the controller is plugged into.
I have made sure that the switch on the back is set to X, though I have also tried it set to D and tried switching it after it didn't seem to detect as the other.
I have run windows 10's Set up a USB gamepad controller functionality (this worked once, but has not since). Most of the time the device doesn't show up on here at all.
I have run the profiler while trying to get it recognized as I read that was someone's solution on the forum (though I have yet to see anyone claim their devices are showing up as HID keyboards or mice).

I am willing to try anything suggested, including things I have already tried if it means that I might have a reliable way of making this controller work.

 

Logitech F310 or Logitech F710 Gamepad?

as much as i love Logitech .... i woudln't recommend any of their pad over the Xbox One S pad (wired or wireless since it can do both alternatively )

i've heard of that issue also

which is the good point of a wired/wireless pad *Big Grin specially when it come in bundle with the receiver (for not much pricier than the standalone one standalone : 59chf bundled one ...59chf ... okay promo...) and all it need to be wired is a simple micro USB cable (i have a neat 1.2m nylon braided reversible A/D 10/15$ one for that )


the Xbox one is the best in class of all pads around, totally worth his price (in bundle/wired/wireless) a total no hassle configuration and wireless signal connection and compatible with any games that handle Xinput/controller (in steam)

unlikely .... some games are not made to be used with a gamepad .... but most of those who handle a gamepad: yes (i used my Xbox one pad for a long time for couch gaming, until i got something better... which is .... not a gamepad since there is none better than that one *Laugh :laugh: )

not true in the case of the Xbox one type *Wink even more with the one that handle bluetooth natively (for these with a laptop or that already have a bluetooth dongle on their pc's )
