PS5 Controller w/ Xbox Inputs

[Bonezyy]

Hello all,

I recently got Shadow of Mordor & typically use my PS5 controller for all games. I wanted to clarify if there was a way to have PS inputs. It is currently only displaying Xbox inputs. Is there something I am missing? Excuse my ignorance if so but just looking for a solution if available.

Update: I found in the Steam Input settings that only the Xbox controller is compatible. Can someone confirm this w/ me?

Update #2: Did a bit more digging and it looks like for Shadow of Mordor you’d have to install a mod that changes the input from Xbox to PlayStation. Going to test it out today fully today and circle back.

I ran into the same thing and I believe that mod is the only way to get the PS glyphs to show up. I got so annoyed I bought an Xbox controller and was surprised how fast I got used to it. Some were claiming the GOG version of the game has full Playstation controller support but can't confirm. If the mod doesn't work, I found having a picture of an Xbox controller to glance at for A, B, X, Y positions helped a little bit.

Sounds good! I’m going to try it out tonight. I do also have an Xbox controller but prefer using the PS5 one all around. Thank you for the reply!

Update: The mod WORKED! I am now able to play with PS glyphs. Below is the direct link

You'll just want to copy the files within the mod folder into the games local folder & run the batch file.

Good Luck!

That's great, I never tried it since I normally don't mod my games (paranoid of random files off the web). As a heads up, I somehow got the game into a weird state where my Gamesir Cyclone II (Xbox style) controller was still working, but the game switched to mouse/keyboard glyphs. I tried a bunch of stuff to try to fix that, but the only thing that worked for me was:

1) exit the game
2) unplug controller / wireless receiver
3) plug controller / wireless receiver back in
4) relaunch game and test that the controller glyphs are back

This only happened once, and I have no clue what I did to get into that state. My parrot probably jumped on my mouse or keyboard without me noticing, or I hit a button on this fancy new controller and couldn't figure out how to get it back to the default setting.

Enjoy the game, I just beat it a couple days ago and really enjoyed it. I was trying to complete almost every mission before completing the game, but figured they would let me catch up on the other missions and that appears to be the case. So after the credits roll, you can pick up where you left off to finish any remaining missions if you want to. The game does a pretty good job teaching things over time so that you don't have to figure out everything at once and the glyphs stay on the screen throughout the game which is great when you have bad memory :) When tutorial stuff comes up pay attention otherwise you'll have a bad time winging it.

download ds4 windows, it converts your dual sense controller into a xbox 360, its an amazing software, and i have no idea why more people dont talk about it. It works on all games, that only have dual shock/xbox 360 support. Cheers!

Does DS4 replace the Xbox glyphs on the screen? I tried it just before Steam started handling other controllers and I don't remember that being a feature. The OP is saying they want Playstation glyphs on the screen when using a PS5 controller.
