Resolved Input System: Bluetooth Controller Vibration

Hi All,

I've been stuck with this problem for a few days now: Is it possible to use Gamepad.SetMotorSpeeds() on PS4 controllers connected via Bluetooth? My code (a simple

Gamepad.current.SetMotorSpeeds(1, 1);

) only works when I have the controller plugged in with a USB cable and does not work when connected over Bluetooth. However the rest of the controller functions are working with Bluetooth - eg) buttons, joysticks ect

Let me know if you need any more context/code and I can send it through
Thanks,

bump, Still having trouble with this ^^^

 

I'm assuming you're using Windows?

As stated in Sony's support site, the DS4 controller is only supported on Windows via a wired USB connection; wireless or Bluetooth is not support.

To fully utilize DS4 on Windows over Bluetooth you'll need to install 3rd party drivers. See this recent article for details.

 

Thankyou for the help, with DS4Windows the controllers behave as intended. Will native support be available in future versions of the input system or is this more of a problem between Microsoft and Sony?

 

Sorry for the delay in responding, I was out on vacation

This is a limitation between Microsoft and Sony: Microsoft doesn't provide built-in drivers with Windows, which make sense since it's a competing product, and Sony won't release official DS4 drivers for Windows because they don't want their controllers used on PC to play Steam games.

It's all rather silly, and unfortunately I don't think Unity can do much to fix this because the problem is with the driver.
