bought a new controller and it doesnt work correctly with the game

[Silly_Lily]

i bought a controller to play hollow knight better but now that i have it it doesnt wanna work.
i have to turn on the native controller input to even be able to use the controller, the buttons work perfect but my movement is all wrong, the settings say right analog stick is to look up and down but its the left one that does it. moving in the menus i have to go left and right instead of up and down and the slashing up and down is with the right stick, making it almost impossible to slash up or down. moving around is possible with the arrow button but not with either analog sticks.
(also sorry if i have spelling mistakes, never had english tought to me)

on what little packaging there was i see 3 names: ''tracer'' ''gamepad recon'' and ''game zone'' package says basically nothing

Thanks very much for the info!
I don't see any manuals or drivers for it, unfortunately. One person in comments on some store mentioned that this gamepad had some drivers for it on a CD in the package. If the gamepad works in some games, maybe it's not necessary to install them.

People in comments generally mention that this gamepad requires to have some third-party gamepad emulation software installed to be detected and working correctly in games, like this one:
https://www.x360ce.com/

But technically, I think, if you only play games on Steam, you can just try configuring Steam Controller settings like I mentioned. Don't try to use both things at once (x360ce and Steam Controller settings), otherwise there may be conflicts. These two things work similarly (gamepad emulation). So just choose only one or the other for the emulation. It should probably work fine when you spend some time on configuring it.

PS. If you don't wish to play with and configure all these emulation things (sometimes it can be really tiring) and you are using Windows 10, consider returning the gamepad and instead maybe investing in even an old used XBox 360 Wired controller, you won't have to deal with software/driver/emulation problems then. 🙂 The one I decided to invest in 2014 is still working great. The purposes of x360ce and Steam Controller settings is to basically emulate XBox gamepads, because they have the best game compatibility on Windows PCs.

I think it's something with the controller compatibility with hollow knight, or steam. I don't know if you can only get paladins on steam, or if it has it's own website download but if you downloaded paladins from a website then it's possible the problem is your controller not working with steam.
I'd just like to point out that maybe the reason your controller doesn't work is cause there's not enough power going in to the USB, so if you have a bunch of other ports plugged in to your PC try taking them out, then connecting the controller.

Try these steps if its still not working, if something's not so clear let me know:

Stage 1

A check if Windows is detecting the controller

Connect the controller.

Your keyboard will likely have a Windows key (some images on right at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_key)

Press the Windows key + R (This opens the Run dialog box)
Type: joy.cpl
Press Enter

That opens the Game Controllers dialog box.
It should list your controller.
If it doesn't, try the controller at other USB ports.

If it does get displayed at Game Controllers then onto the next stage.
Leave the gamepad connected.

Stage 2

A check if Steam is detecting the controller

Open Steam and go to the Controller Settings screen.
(Follow the guide (https://wiki.albany.edu/display/icehcspace/%5BSteam%5D+How+to+set+up+a+controller+for+any+PC+game) to step 3 to get to that screen)

On the left, under Detected Controllers, you should see the controller.

If, instead, you see the message: 'No Controllers Detected', check if the 'Unhide Devices' button is available. Click it and your controller should be visible again.

If neither the controller or Unhide Devices is visible, unplug then re-plug the controller.
If neither become visible, try your controller with another USB port, then the next etc.

I've read of Steam sometimes having issues detecting controllers when they are connected at certain USB ports, such as via a hub/other device, rather than a USB port directly on the computer.

Steam detects controller
Now you'll likely need to define it.
Click on the controller, and then click Define Layout.
(If Define Layout doesn't show up it means Steam has automatically defined it for you, just tick PlayStation Configuration Support & close Controller Settings, then try HK)

At the Define Layout screen, as Steam recommends, use the keyboard to navigate (Up/Down arrow keys, Enter key).
Press Enter and then the button/control on the controller that corresponds with the image/text. Repeat.
Once complete use the mouse and click Save.
Under 'Select the type of controller', choose 'PlayStation 3 Controller' from the drop-down, then click 'No, thanks'.

Now, back at the main Controller Settings screen, tick PlayStation Configuration Support & close Controller Settings.

Try HK.

Steam doesn't detect controller
In this case we check some other things, see how the above goes first though.
