can you Figure out this driver issue? details are in the pinned comment
HidGuardian lives here: https://github.com/ViGEm/HidGuardian Its whole purpose is to block controllers from working. Figure out how she installed it and get rid of it.

Could someone please suggest a cheap controller for PC? I've been using this for a while now but it's mapping is horrible and doesn't work in game half the time. I used Joystokey but even then it's not that great. Please help a brother out 🙏
And also install HidGuardian

Looking For USB Solution (Too Many USB Devices)
Devreorder as already linked works well, you can also use something like HidGuardian ( https://github.com/ViGEm/HidGuardian ) normally used with Joystrick Gremlin or UCR to prevent programs from seeing certain devices at all, which can be handy in various circumstances.

Use emulated controller while hiding the original
Hid Guardian (Last commit 2020-12-17)is discontinued, mentions a newer HidHide so if you're using HID Guardian, you might want to make the switch.

Hide Controller Problem
If you install HIDGuardian, hide controller will *always* work, but you have to whitelist apps that you want to detect the controller individually as you launch them. It's not ideal, but it's the best solution I've found.

MWO Joystick question
So a problem may arise after you use VJOY/Gremlin to create a new combined virtual device. This problem is that some games won't show all devices as they stop enumerating after one or two. You will then need to use HIDGuardian https://github.com/ViGEm/HidGuardian to hide the individual devices so that only the newly created combined virtual device is shown. There are a large amount of youtube videos on both VJOY and Gremlin as they are used most often.

Is there a way to trick a game into thinking I have a G29 Wheel.
Your might need to use https://github.com/x360ce/x360ce
-
Do you guys recommend motorsport for a guy has no wheel?
I use a Joystick and the x360ce emulator to map it's functions to a virtual gamepad. Not perfect, but works a lot more precise than an actual gamepad.

Why is aiming difficult to program for controllers?
On PC you have a few options. Most simplistically some games will let you adjust at least the deadzone size in a config or ini file if the in-game menu doesn't have an option. Durazno and x360ce can alter the stick input, functionally turning square deadzones into radial ones but the game needs to use .dll files in its library to work which limits its use. [DS4Windows]((https://ds4-windows.com/))(need a PS4 controller) and Steam Input have deadzone and antideadzone options, but to counter axial deadzones I think you also have to use axial deadzones too(could still counter the size). reWASD(paid)'s full version can allow you alter the stick curve to functionally set up an antideadzone and alter the curve, but I'm not sure if it can address games with axial deadzones.

Avast blocking a threat for being infected with Botnet:blacklist
i downloaded from https://github.com/x360ce/x360ce/wiki/Beta-Testing but i noticed now when i hover over the place to download the rar file it has another site so i guess this is a botnet

do any of you use the citra-valentin-qt.exe build?
I installed the free software https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_Explorer and then let it run and then started valenting. In the explorer processes I saw an error entry with a red label. I doubleclicked on it and it told me an entry in the windows eventviewer was created. I went into the eventviewer and saw this: https://i.imgur.com/2AjLcmR.png. Then I googled "ezfrd64.dll crash" and found this website: https://github.com/x360ce/x360ce/issues/1178 They talk about the driver of some gamepad. I also installed a gamepad driver recently called "Speedlink". I removed said driver from my system and now citra valentin is starting up again.

DS4Windows Does not recognize my controller
I recommend the UCR (Universal Controller Remapper) software. It is kind of difficult to setup but it is the most responsive software I've used. Alternatively, you may try XOutput or X360ce, which are simpler but you may run into problems.

hotas support ??
You can use x360ce to map joystick axes and buttons to what looks to the program like the expected controller inputs. I use it all the time with an old Logitech joystick. Works fine. Here's my current mapping.

Is there a way to rename buttons in controller?
Not really, but if you are not using a Xbox-compatible controller you can use an Xinput wrapper such as UCR, x360ce or even the controller configurator built into Steam Big Picture. If you are using an Xbox controller and you see "Button 1..." in a game, then that game probably is too old to support Xinput and is using Dinput instead, and I doubt there's anything you can do.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing HidGuardian and x360ce you can also consider the following projects:
HidHide - Gaming Input Peripherals Device Firewall for Windows.
XOutput - DirectInput to XInput wrapper
NFSU-XtendedInput - NFS Underground & Underground 2 - XInput Plugin
stadiacontroller - Command line application that emulates an Xbox 360 controller from a wired Stadia controller on Windows.
UCR - Universal Control Remapper [Alpha]
stadia-vigem - ViGEm adapter for Stadia Controller
XJoy - Use Nintendo Switch JoyCons as a virtual Xbox 360 controller in Windows
devreorder - A utility for reordering and hiding DirectInput controllers
Shibari - Gaming input peripherals prototyping platform for Windows
reshade - A generic post-processing injector for games and video software.
