[Solved]MonoGame does not recognize my gamepad

[myshmeh]

Sorry if this is a basic question.

I am learning MonoGame and trying to connect my gamepad (Elecom JC-U4113SBK) which has XInput mode, but GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).IsConnected always returns false, so I can't use the gamepad.

However, weird or not, I can connect my gamepad with XInput.Wrapper. So I think it is doing fine as a XInput gamepad..

Does MonoGame only detect Xbox 360 controller like this down below or should it detect all the XInput gamepads? Some advice on it is very much appreciated.

I could use XInput for input and MonoGame for the rest, but it doesn't feel quite natural to me.

I am using MonoGame v3.6. Thank you!

If I remember correctly, Windows Project only supports XInput controllers.
You can create Cross Platform Desktop Project (also known as DesktopGL) which should work with most controllers, but usage is slightly different.

Wow, my gamepad worked just fine on Cross Platform Desktop Project!

Although I am not sure why my gamepad didn't work on Windows Project since it says XInput mode available (and I'm in that mode), at least I found the way to work around (maybe it is not really a "XInput Controller"...).

Anway, thank you very much for the information!

No problem, glad you got it working
