  1. usb game controller's pressing keys in windows


    I have for a while been using my PS3 controller for gaming and it works fine.

    But I needed to test out a new SNES controller for a project, and found it was not reading correctly. Or so I thought.

    I tested another with same results. Stranger thing is that I have a KIT controller that you make yourself, which is recognised as a "Generic USB controller" which works just fine. So I plugged in my old Logitech dual action controller to test that, as it was working in the past. I was thinking that my new SNES controllers were faulty. But my Logitech was also acting up. The right analogue stick moves the mouse around the screen, other buttons trigger the enter key, tab key, back key ……. and so on. I currently have no modifier software installed that would be doing this. And as I have not used them in a while, I have no idea when it might have happened. A Windows 10 update perhaps? If so, how to fix?


    Does Microsoft even look at these posts?

  2. Sidewinder Game Controller Software 4.0

    Hi Willard,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you to follow the below steps to download Sidewinder Game Controller Software 4.0

    • Disconnect the game controller from your computer's universal serial bus (USB) port.
    • Insert the Microsoft Sidewinder compact disc into your computer's CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. Hold down the SHIFT key to prevent installation from automatically starting.
    • On your desktop, double-click My Computer, and then browse to the following file:
      CD-ROM drive:\Setup\Setup.exe
    • Double-click Setup.exe to start the installation process.
    • Restart your computer when prompted.
    • Plug the SideWinder game controller into your computer's USB port, and then allow Microsoft Windows to detect and install it.

      Install the software update if the controller is the Sidewinder Game Controller Software 4.0
    • Restart your computer.

    Let us know the status.

    Regards,
