Gamesir Tarantula Pro controller settings issues

[Kaishen021]

Just received a Gamesir Tarantula Pro controller for Christmas this year and was excited to try it out. However, there are a few issues I am having with it. The first is that the left and right triggers in the control settings are mapping to axis -3 or +3, which I assume is due to the controller being able to track how far you are holding the trigger down. The other issue is that I am completely unable to map any buttons that are not standard on an Xbox/Playstation controller (namely two buttons on the rear side of the controller) I attempted to get around both of these by using the Gamesir Connect app to remap the input to specific keys on a keyboard but the game also will seemingly not accept keyboard inputs while using a controller control scheme.

Is this an issue anyone else has had in the past with any controllers - Gamesir or not - and if so what can be done to bypass and/or fix the issues?

Not sure specifically about that controller, but:

Distance listens for inputs on all detected devices simultaneously (everything in the Devices dropdown of the Controls menu in-game). If you want to set up binds on two different devices, you have to select the device you want to set binds for, and hit Edit Scheme for that device. Each device has its own separate control scheme bindings - you can't bind a controller button in a keyboard scheme, and you can't bind a keyboard button in a controller scheme, but you can have both device's schemes configured and enabled (any device that isn't specifically set to the "Disabled" scheme).

It may be the case that those extra buttons on your controller are being detected as a completely separate device, so have a look at the Devices dropdown, and if you see anything else listed other than just the controller and keyboard, then try selecting that "third" device, and setting binds on the scheme for it. Alternatively, you can do what you tried before, binding those buttons to keyboard inputs, and then edit the keyboard scheme for those binds.

Thanks for the help. I just kind of assumed that if a control scheme was selected in the options menu for editing the other input types would be disabled. So I have been able to solve the problem by setting some of the controls on the gamepad config to (not set) and then using Gamesir Connect to map the desired buttons to the controls on the keyboard. It would seem trying to have those controls set on the gamepad config would override the keyboard inputs.

I got one as well and I’m having issues too, the joysticks don’t register any movement at all

You have to set them up in Controller (Gamesir-Dongle) and then set the Xbox controller device to disabled.
Also bind "break" to pulling the stick back - it isn't ACTUALLY break but reverse with "gas" being forward.
