Steam recognising HORI PS4 WHEEL as Xbox controller causing issues in racing games

[cayenne_pepper44]

Hi. I have a HORI racing wheel for PS4 and have used it with no issues for a long time with my PS4. I recently bought F1 23 on Steam (PC) for the first time and have noticed a few quite major issues.



1. In Steam, the wheel is being recognised as an Xbox controller which therefore means all the buttons in-game are xbox buttons. (This is a minor issue but it would be nice to fix)



2. And very importantly, the game detects pedal inputs as trigger input as from a controller i.e. when I press accelerate it comes up as R2 (actually it comes up as RT due to the first issue). This is an issue because other things are bound to R2 that when I press cause the car to accelerate when I don't want it to. Yes, I have put the mode to PS4-S and DP on the wheel. In essence, what I am saying is that there are 2 L2 buttons, and 2 R2 buttons because the pedals are acting as L2 and R2, but there are also physical R2 and L2 buttons on the wheel itself.

NB. I think these issues are related due to Steam recognising the wheel as an Xbox CONTROLLER, not a PS4 WHEEL, therefore meaning there are no pedal buttons, and L2 and R2 are being duplicated

So my question is, how can I get Steam to think my PS4 Wheel is actually a PS4 Wheel and not an Xbox controller?



Thanks in advance for your help

Which Hori wheel?

I know someone with one of those. Its not actually a wheel, its a glorified controller.

Dont know if thats what you have, but I know their bottom tier offerings arent actually wheels as far as functionality.

Take Steam out of the equation. Disable Steam Input, whether for this gäbe or globally. Restart Steam afterwards.

Only a 270 degree turn. No force feedback, right?

Yes, sadly as another user pointed out above, these types of wheel are often NOT "full" wheels. They are essentially glorified controllers, which means you get the results you get in software.

I'm not familiar exactly with your one but it seems to be the type.

What this usually means is that the internals to these controllers are not markedly different to a regular Xbox controller. They lack full range of steering input, they lack more customization of buttons and controls. So they largely have the same buttons as the Xbox controller, so they come up as that in software.

If you've done as another user suggested above, and disabled Steam input there's nothing more you can do, as the software is simply seeing what it expects. Nothing can change that.

You can either put up with it or get a better controller, I'm afraid.
