Logitech g29 shifter adapter from amazon not supported

Hi Unity forums,

I am trying to read the input of a logitech g29 shifter in unity. This used to work when used with the unity g29 wheel. But I am using a different wheel now so I needed a different way to hook up the shifter via usb directly to pc.

I purchased this device from amazon: https://www.amazon.nl/-/en/dp/B096S8D2RV/
Unity shows this device as not supported:

It gives me this as device description:
{
"interface": "HID",
"type": "",
"product": "diy Shifter",
"serial": "HIDDC",
"version": "256",
"manufacturer": "Unknown",
"capabilities": "{\"vendorId\":8593,\"productId\":35097,\"usage\":5,\"usagePage\":1,\"inputReportSize\":3,\"outputReportSize\":0,\"featureReportSize\":0,\"elements\":[],\"collections\":[]}"
}

In the windows dialog it is recognized and seems to pick up all the input correctly.



Can I get this to work somehow? Or do I have to forge my own connector using an arduino/teensy/microcontroller device? (like this video does

)
I know I can get this to work because the project already succesfully uses a teensy to read some custom pedals. But it would be nice if unity could read the amazon adapter correctly like windows does.

Thanks in advance for any input on the issue!

 

Hi dmytro,
Thanks for your reply.
gamepad tester show the following and responds to inputs of the shifter.


The unsupported device option in input debugger doesn't do anything since I have not specified any devices in the input settings. And I cannot select the device there. Unity also does not find this device when listening for inputs in an action map/action.

When enabling 'enable event diagnostics' I get the following error only when the diy shifter is plugged in:

 

I have the output of usbtreeview here:

 

Oh my bad, here is the right one

 

@dmytro_at_unity Any more thoughts on this? Otherwise I am going to use a teensy to engineer something myself.

 

Help, I bought an adapter for my g29 shifter because I use it with another wheel and the shifter doesn't detect me, with usb treet viewer I got this text:
[2-11]: Prolific PL2303GT USB Serial COM Port (COM3)

 

This is how it detects me but the description is:
