Gioteck VX-3 dpad problems with JoyToKey

[yung Rolls]

For the past 2 months I have been using a third party wireless controller called the Gioteck VX3 along with JoyToKey to properly set it up. The games I have been playing so far did not have separate uses for the dpad and control stick until now. Since DMC4 uses the dpad for style switching, I know I'll have to set the Dpad to POV controls but I can't seem to get the dpad to function separately. Even the right analog stick corresponds to the square triangle circle and x buttons. Is there a solution or is it just that this controller brand is dodgy?

JoyToKey is a basic solution which really should only be used with games that don't read gamepad input.

I suggest one of the following:
- Try Steam Input.
- Try DS4Windows. Additionally, you might be able to ask devs to add support for your controller.
- Maybe try finding a universal dll plug that would disable the game from reading gamepad input. Could be named as dinput8.dll or dinput.dll, not sure. I know something like this exists, just forgot how it's called.
- You can try other apps like Xinput Plus.

Thanks for the advice homie, but I actually figured out the issue was with this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ controller design. There's this button I hit to switch the controller on and when it's on it glows on one side, but when I hit it again it glows on both left and right. When both sides glow I can use the dpad and right stick separately so I just set up the controller on steam.
