I KNOW THAT X BOX CONTROLERS DO WORK ON SGW.THATS ALL I KNOW ABOUT IT...I THINK ITS A STEAM SETTING ..GO TO YOUR DESKTOP,AFTER STEAM IS UP AND RUNNING.RIGHT CLICK ON STEAM ICON,(USUALLY LOWER RIGHT CORNER) IN TASK BAR,CLICK SETTINGS,CONTROLER ETC ETC

Try drivers reinstallation

Are you using a Xbox type wired controller for windows? The wireless Xbox controller for Xbox may not work on windows even when the USB is plugged in. The USB is only for charging that controller and doesn't pass the USB data signals. Only the Xbox type controller 'for windows' works on PC's. (I'm pretty sure.)

Do you use a controller for gaming sad?

Yes, all the time. I'm not very good using a keyboard.

Huh i did not know that.I heard in some ways controller is better.Ive heard kybrd n mouse is better.I used controllers all the time when i was younger.My hands always felt cramped,and my muscles in my hand would get fatigued.I found myself always pressing to hard on the buttons,and more so on the analog sticks.Think my hands are just to big for controllers,escepcially shooter type game..Also i had a problem always with blood leaving my hands,because they were tilting upward.Causing blood to go towards my arms,not my hands.Making my hands fall asleep and get tingly.Most of all this was affecting my wrists.

Now I use a desk ,mouse n kybrd...There is little table's under the main top of my desk,that can swivel out towards me.So I now rest my forearms on my chairs arms,and with a downward slope my hands meet up with the two little swivel tables.One on the right holds mouse pad n mouse.One on the left i use for sgw,and typing..But when im playing a run n gun game like csgo...My keybrd is on my lap.which acually is better than using the tables.Becasue i can sit with my back flat against my chair.Thers no stretching or reaching for key,or leaning forward 3 inches from screen to see farther.Its all natural body movements,and positions.

The only real drawback to kybrd and mouse,is if you want a good mouse that lasts,and and has high D.P.I..You really have to drop some money.Ive tried the $50.00-$100.00 range..All of the wheels teeth gets worn out really fast.The litttle clicker mechanism underneath the triggers also wares quickly.You may get a year outta a $100 mouse...You may not notice it but slowly your skills will deminish,as the mouses main uses do too.Then as time passes you are just trying to compinsate for its loss,with raising the mouse sensitivity settings etc.....so now i just go to several local thrift stores and I can find them for couple dollars,sometimes brand new.


The important things here is,Don't waste money....Buy the best so you can have the best...or don't even try to get halfway too the best,because there not made to last..Only made to appear too the customer it's as good as the expensive ones.Most importantly make sure your arms and hands are always in a downward position,and that is bascially the blunt of hand and wrists problems from being on a desk alot.Another reason why gamers kills etc go down as the game match nears the end.Hand and arm fatigue...

I like to play sitting on my couch and usig a 60" screen. Keyboard is a little hard to manage but controller works great. I've always had trouble using the wasd keys to move. A joystick is so much easier for moving that on games that require keyboard and mouse, I use joy2key so I can use the controller joystick with my left hand to move, and everything else with the keyboard and mouse. I have to admit, the mouse is much faster for aiming than using a right joystick, so both have different benefits. If I couild get a keyboard that had a joystick for the wasd keys I'd go with that all the time.

Hi to all.
I use the wired Xbox joypad (no wireless) for windonows to play SGW, I'm relatively good at playing, I'm quick in my movements and aim
My joypad works very well on SGW but my SGW game is FX, not steam.
I have other steam games where I use my joypad and I do not find any problem (Sniper Elite3, SGW2 and specs: the line, I also have SGW but it is not installed on my pc).
Conosco altri utenti che giocano con Joypad Xbox 360 for windows su SGW di steam, without having problems but I do not know if their joypad is wired or wireless.
On SGW the joypad should work, you can try options, commands, change commands from mouse to jpad, confirm, close the game and start it again. :-)
