Working controllers: sticky list

[longshanks1979]

Could do with staring a list of controllers which work and which don't

Working:
Official 360 wired
Official 360 wireless
Non-official 360 wired (basically an Ebay knockoff that is identical to the official one)

Not working:
Mad Catz SFIV pad
Gamestop 360 controller

I have a couple more knocking about the house but please feel free to add to this list...

Tried my Logitech F310 and that one seems to work. (It's a wired one only).
Also tried one of my PS3 controllers and it worked while wired. I don't know about wireless because the battery has probably run out from not having been used in ages.

Note: Only tried it in the Link menu. Didn't start streaming or any of that.

I have the "Official 360 Wireless" which works except for the D-pad.

I would love it if someone, anyone, could verify they have the same problem or offer a suggestion for a fix. Cheers.

Doesn't work: Razer Atrox Arcade Stick - Xbox 360
Works: Afterglow Wired Controller - Xbox 360

when you say the 360 wireless works do that mean the controller connects directly to the steambox or is the wireless adapter for windows required?

PS4 Dualshock4 Controller works nice

[Birne Gilmore]

hmm, I also have the official wireless 360 (with the usb-link for the pc) and my pad is fully operational

[longshanks1979]

You must plug in the wireless dongle

Wireless adaptor is required, and needs plugging directly into Link box (I was pretty impressed that this worked first time without any fuss)

Damn, this is so variable and unpredictable. I wonder whether it's one of those things where, if I was on the PC, I would just uninstall the driver and reinstall/update - but I can't do this with the Link. I might try a factory reset on the Link, then do the firmware update, then connect the controller.

Logitech "Rumble Gamepad F510" working without any problem.

[aprodigy]

ps3 controllers work but only via usb cable connection. haven't been able to pair via bluetooth.

[Chaser324]

Dualshock 4 works connected with USB. I've seen some people say they've paired it through Bluetooth, but I haven't had any success with that.

Also, it's obvious, but you might as well add the Steam Controller to the list.

Xbox 360 WWE All Stars Brawl Pad MadCatz (wired) works for me. Think this is the same as the Mad Catz SFIV pad, dont know why yours is not working. I have windows7 64bit.

[Chaser324]

There does seem to be some inconsistency in the reports of what works and what doesn't. It's a bit concerning and frustrating because it's impossible to know if it's some sort of issue with the Steam Link itself or if it's an issue with your controller or host PC.

I have a third party xbox 360 wireless dongle that I picked up on Amazon a while back and both of my wireless Xbox 360 controllers work just fine through that. Take that for what it is.

My janky PS3 controller works like a 360 controller when it's connected through USB.
My wired MadCatz 360 controller works perfectly.
