Bug PS4 & Switch Pro Controller not working (Steam & Bluetooth)

Hello everyone,

I just tried the new Input System which is incredibly easier to understand than the old one keep up the great work ! I had an issue unresolved for a month now.

I use version 1.0.1 - November 24, 2020

I have two Bluetooth controllers : Switch Pro from Power A and PS4 Dualshock
In order to make them work, I use Steam to connect them to the laptop
I succesfully connected and detected the two of them (with custom layout for Switch one) and tried to make them work. However, their input debugger shows a mess where all inputs are changing with aberrant values while I Don't even touch the controller. I tried to look at the HID descriptor which contains 3000 elements, which is clearly Strange….

I upload a picture of the debugger.
It seams that Steam modify the HID of the gamepads, and unity cannot read it. Steam is one of the greatest platform of video game and I want to share my game on it, this has to work.

This bug occurs with some of the most sold gamepads of the market, it would be a huge deception for me to modify all the inputs of my project. If someone had the same problem, I'll appreciate a tips

 

Same problem.
package version 1.0.1 and unity 2020.1.14

I think new input system cannot read correctly bluetooth connected controller.
It seems to be able to read when my dualshock connected using usb.

I tried to check input actions like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. InputSystem.onActionChange += (o, change) => Debug.Log($"{o} | {change}");

But, no events were called except the left stick.

 

Same here and it's weird because I was just using my Switch pro controller with the new input system a couple weeks ago and it was working fine. =\ Gonna try an earlier version of Unity I guess and see if that was it.

-- Edit --
I will add that I'm not using Steam, just opening Unity (all recent versions) and using the new Input System package. Then I check the Input Debugger for my SwitchProControllerHID (connected via Bluetooth) and I get a bunch of buttons and stick values randomly and rapidly getting 'pressed'.

And as I mentioned above, not sure if this is Unity or the controller because it did work fine in a project a few weeks ago. I opened the exact same project with nothing in Unity changed, and all of a sudden it doesn't work. But at the same time, the OP is seeing this same behaviour with multiple controllers so . . .

I really do love the new input system and was looking forward to learning more of it so I hope this issue is resolved soon! =)

 

Same here! Unity please! Test it before release it.

 

I just tested my Dualshock without Bluetooth and it seems fine now. The problem seams to come from the Bluetooth connection that Input system doesn't handle well

 

Alas, I've tried my Switch Pro Controller both with Bluetooth and plugged directly into the USB and both return the same issue with haywire input. =\

 

UPDATE: Turns out restarting my computer, Unity, and reconnecting my pro controller has solved the issue.

 

yeah, 2020.1.13f1 Personal has the same bug. When will this get fixed?

 

I tried to restart my computer/unity to no avail.

 

Did anyone manage to solve this? initially i thought it was my mac, then the pro-controller, but I'm currently using the same control on openEmu and it works like pretty well. When i'm wired Unity doesn't even get the logs from the inputs, but when i'm from bluetooth it gets pure random inputs

 

I was encountering the same problems mentioned here while connected via USB: Switch Pro sending erratic input to the Input debugger, no inputs firing at runtime, even though InputSystem.onDeviceChange picked it up fine, connecting and disconnecting, so it definitely knows it's there, and knows what it is.
Macbook Pro 2017 / Catalina
Unity 2019.4.15f1
Input System 1.0.1

It started working after I switched to bluetooth (it will show up as two controllers if connected via USB and bluetooth at the same time, so I end up disconnecting the USB to do this)- I know others here say they haven't had luck with bluetooth, but thought I'd mention it and my specs in case that helps. Wired mode does not seem to work in any case - even though it will appear to Unity as a controller, its input is messed up.

 

Same issue (macOS 11.1 Big Sur, Switch Pro). As soon as I hit Play my player controller goes berserk with chaotic input. I wish Unity were more interested in fixing these bugs, it makes it hard to adopt new features when they're so busted.

 

Same issue here too, macOS 11.4, Switch Pro.

 

I have the "same" problem, more details here in my forum post.

 

Any news on this yet???

 

Had a similar issue with the Dualshock 4 (PS4) via Bluetooth. No issues with USB. Posted in another thread, but seems that there is more activity in this one.

I was hoping to try my Switch Pro Controller tonight too, but sounds like it has similar issues.

 

I am looking through this here right now but will move forward with a PS4 Controller for now:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/c...nputSystem.Switch.SwitchProControllerHID.html

Please let us know how your move to the Switch Pro Controller went.

 

I have same problem in Unity 2021.1 and InputSystem 1.1.0-pre5
It's so serious that will make gamepad totally unusable and It's reported near a year and there is no any response nor updates from Unity.

 

We're considering switching to the new Input System. Can anyone confirm if these issues have been addressed? Currently the package version available to use is 1.3.0.

Any insight is greatly appreciated
