If you've installed Win 10 Anniversary Edition, try manually uninstalling ALL of your gamepad drivers, and re-installing older versions (2009 for XB360, 2014 for XB1). The Anniversary update completely broke controller support in Windows 10 and Microsoft has yet to fix it. This issue also affects Unity/Steam/Unreal/etc. games.

digitalsoapbox - I'm using W10 Pro and my controller works in Chrome using the website test in the first post... and if they can get it to work without my uninstalling any drivers then it's probably not a W10 problem (unless they have a super-hackey way around the problem). It's a bit ironic that Microsoft broke their own controller with a version of their flagship software .

Colludium Chances are the Chromium team found a hacky way around the driver issue. It's also not a global issue, and seems to affect specific hardware configurations, and sometimes only affects wireless/wired, not both. Speaking of flagship, controllers don't work wired OR wirelessly on my SP4 at all without rolling back to years-old drivers, and only then after manually deleting the current drivers from the driver directory and installing drivers that could only be downloaded from an out of date site through IE11, so I think it's safe to say it could've used more testing on Microsoft's end. As it stands, I have XB360 gamepads identifying as 3 controllers at once, and XB1 identifying as 3 when wireless, 4 when wired.

It works fine for me in Chrome 54, Windows 10, with a wired Xbox 360 controller. However it doesn't seem to work in NW.js. So I think our code is correct but NW.js isn't seeing gamepads. I filed a NW.js bug to follow up. Closing this report.

Sorry for resurecting this old thread, but i cant get my gamepad working in Chrome.

when debugging the layout, and im looking at the gamepad it clearly registers the lastbutton pressed but there is no movement on my gameobject. while in Firefox there is no issue

works fine in:

Firefox

NW.js

im using:

Version 63.0.3239.132 (Officiell version) (64 bitar)
