Trust GXT 545 controller

Hey all!

Didn't know where to ask about this piece of hardware, so I'll ask here... I hope somebody owns this controller and will be able to share some info about it.

So, I noticed that on Trust homepage ( https://www.trust.com/en/product/20491-gxt-545-yula-wireless-gamepad ) it says "Pressure sensitive buttons (PS3 only)".

Does it mean that lt/rt don't work as analogue buttons on PC? Can it be fixed with Steam controller software?

Yes, they do not work on PC normally and no it cannot be fixed with the SC software. You can instead not use the Steam input software and you can use other third party software that will work. The usefulness is rather low though as you could only map to so many axes, 5 to be exact, and you would also be losing either axes on the sticks or triggers. The best use case would be PS2/3 emulation and that's about it but they have special procedures to go through for that so you would have to consult a specific emulators own forums or documentation to get that up and running.

Try and remember, Xinput is Xinput and is very limiting. Not the hardware's fault but the fact that pretty much every game uses Xinput.

Ok, it doesn't make any sense.

First of all there is not much info on the internet about this controller. Still every source claims different things about it. Some say that it indeed doesn't behave like analogue input device. Others claim it works as your usual controller.

Also there is a switch on a back side of controller that can alter xinput and direct input states.

Anybody?

Ok, I know this post is 4 years old and there wont be many people looking for this but anyway, yes the pressure sensitive triggers do work on pc but only when x-input is enabled on the back of the controller (this will also open xbox game bar), hope this helps (someone).
