Okay here's the dilemma: Steam's controller mapping recognizes my DualShock 4 controller when plugged in, DS4Windows recognizes my DualShock 4 controller when plugged in, and when I go to pair the device using Bluetooth the device is recognized... as "unknown" but it pairs as a wireless controller.  When the device is plugged into the PC I can see it in devices &amp; printers, and even see it in the "test" area that pops up when you enter into "game controller settings". When I'm in that same game controller settings via wired, under advanced settings it displays: preferred device, wireless controller.  but then something funny happens via bluetooth. Even with little notifications popping up asking me to pair, even seeing its a wireless controller, it doesn't show up in Steam nor in DS4 Windows. It doesn't give me the option to put in "0000" as the code to sync. And the wireless controller shows up in devices &amp; printers, but going inside of that area doesn't display anything. It's somehow being recognized as a wireless controller, but it's just not working at all as a wireless device.

Can anyone tell me how to connect my PS4 controller to my PC using Bluetooth?  I am running Windows 7 with a generic Bluetooth dongle if that' important  I have watched a lot of videos on YouTube but it doesn't work for me. I can connect it and it pairs and in devices and printers it shows up as a wireless game controller, but Windows doesn't recognize it as a game controller which stops it from showing up in DS4Windows or Input Mapper (programs that make Windows think its an Xbox 360 controller).  It works fine when its connected through USB so I know the controller works.  If anyone has had this problem and knows how to fix it please tell me what to do.

I've had the Logitech Wave MK550 for about two years now, and it has acted up twice on me now.  Now being the second time, anyways. What is happening is the mouse and keyboard simply stop working on my computer, however, they work on the same computer on Arch linux, Ubuntu, on my laptop running Windows 7, Arch and Ubuntu as well.   I talked to Logitech tech support today, but that didn't go anywhere. We determined that Windows is finding the devices and installing the drivers appropriately, because they show up in the Device Manager. My PS/2 Keyboard works fine, along with another USB mouse that I am using in the meantime, so she really had no idea where to direct me.  Anyone have an idea as to where to go from here? I miss my keyboard

I've been playing a couple of games on my Surface Pro 2 while travelling. When I launched a game on my desktop after I got home, I noticed my savegames did not sync.  While I realize Steam couldn't sync while I didn't have access to the internet, I did turn my Surface on after I got back home. Steam simply didn't bother syncing then, so I was forced to launch each game I had played so Steam would sync.  Having to launch every game while an internet connection is available is quite inconvenient, especially when some games have unskippable intro videos. Is there an option where I can tell Steam to sync all savegames without having to launch a game?

I have two Xbox 360's, one WiFi and the other wired through the same Linksys E3000 router with DD-WRT (v24-sp2 (04/13/11) std-usb-nas firmware).   Mine (the wired one, though hers has been wired in the past and it didn't appear to help) always seems to be open (green), and hers is either moderate or closed (oj/red)  Even with the original router firmware I've never been able to get both consoles into "open nat" mode, and it makes playing certain games together almost impossible for me and my wife  because we can't seem to get into the same game.   I have uPnP enabled and the DMZ disabled, and some minor port forwarding to allow for a Minecraft server (Ports 25565 and 25566 for a testing copy of the server), but other than that the settings are mainly at their default, on the xbox's and the router.   Are there any settings I can configure to allow this to work properly?

I am buing assamble self PC for playing games.  I am wondering, all the drivers, which are most likely for Windows, can i just use them on Ubuntu?  So if i understand you right, it will automaticaly detect the drivers, no need for installs ? or it find custom drivers for ubuntu.  This is the setup, will there be any problem with it?

I bought the wireless adapter to use with a computer without internet access but I can't figure out how to install it with just a USB with the driver on it. I've read a few articles on how to install the driver but they all require me to have internet access and I don't have internet. I'm completely new to Ubuntu. If you can help that would be great. Thanks!  Ps: I have the latest version of Ubuntu as of 7-5-16.

Yesterday I downloaded the MH4U demo from the Nintendo store, played solo for a bit, and then tried to set up a hunt with a friend online.  I created a Hall to hunt Tetsucabra, added a passcode, and sent my friend the Hall ID.  When he tried to join, it asked him for the passcode, accepted it, and after that he said it threw an error. So we reversed the process; he created a Hall and I tried to connect. Same deal. Error , please try again later.  As per the Nintendo support link, we tried changing our 3DS' DNS settings to Google DNS on the off chance that helped. We tried the same thing (I created a hall and he tried to connect, then vice-versa) and got the same result.  Then I found a  that I do not fully understand, but seems to suggest setting your 3DS to your router's DMZ. I cannot do this, as the 3DS requires that it have a static IP when set to the DMZ, while my router requires than any device set to the DMZ have a dynamic IP.  Anyone else know where to go from here? Aside from buying a better router.

Recently my audio input, from USB headset and USB guitar cable have stopped working. Going into Windows 'Sounds' and enabling 'Listen to this device' outputs the audio as expected; the problem is not with the devices. However, as soon as I try to use them with any other program, discord, for example, no audio input is detected by discord.  I have tried everything I can think of and some suggestions from Googling around;   Updating everything - windows, drivers, all related software Rolling windows back to the last build Trying different USB ports Reinstalling drivers and software Running Windows troubleshooters Playing with device properties settings   But nothing seems to work, any suggestions?

My mouse will reconnect/disconnect (will even hear the sounds from Windows), and the light on the bottom of the mouse will turn off/turn on as it starts working again.  It really sucks to be playing a game (and happens on desktop as well) for the mouse to just die out for a few seconds and come back. Sometimes it will not happen for days and other times it will do it two or more times within 15 seconds.  I tried two different wired mice, tried multiple USB ports (on the front of the computer, back of the computer, used a USB hub and plugged in a card that connects to the USB connectors on the motherboard and adds a few USB ports to the back of the computer, and I also bought a USB 2.0 PCI card and that did not help).  Nothing else seems to reconnect like this, my USB keyboard has never once cut out like the mouse does and neither have any of the other devices I have connected (webcam, USB hub, various devices sometimes connected through USB cables, and IR receiver for windows Media Center remote). I have disconnected all USB devices except for my keyboard and mouse and the problem still occurs.  I guess it could be something wrong with my motherboard but since no other devices behave similarly I'm just hoping that it is some kind of driver conflict. Installing Logitech's drivers has had no effect. It seemed at first that if I go to  and uninstall  mouse (that and Logitech mx518 are listed) that would fix it, but it doesn't seem to work anymore or at least not every time (it keeps re-installing).  I have googled "USB mouse disconnects and reconnects", and it seems to be fairly common but none of those were resolved.  To stick some easy steps:   It happens with or without the drivers installed It has happened with multiple mice on the same computer The BIOS is the latest version (P08) Motherboard drivers are the latest version Device Manager isn't listing any problems on any USB devices Happens with every USB port, even addon USB cards Happens when all USB devices aside from mouse and keyboard are unplugged   I read that maybe it is an IRQ conflict, and I tried to look into that but did not really know what was going on, but didn't see anything obviously wrong.

Specifically, I'm on a . I'd like to disable the  so that I can re-enable if my mouse were to run out of batteries (so physically breaking the connection to the motherboard or uninstalling the driver will not be the best options). In the Control Panel, when I go to "Mouse" and find the touch pad, there is no disable option. Any ideas?  Edit: I am on Windows 7. There is a driver on the Dell site that might allow an option to disable it, but I cannot install it on Windows 7.

Ok, I was kind of surprised that this hadn't been asked here before, but maybe it's too technical for this site. You guys decide.  I've heard lots of different stories about setting up Wine on Ubuntu, WineTricks, PlayOnLinux etc., but never a 'This is the best way to do it for Steam and Steam games' thread.  So has anyone had any real success getting their Steam games to run on Ubuntu through Wine or something similar? If so, could we get some specific steps?

I'm trying to use a DualShock 4's  as a motion controller in Unity, under Windows 7.  So far I've tried:   DS4Windows (1.5.11): reads motion sensor data, but does not expose them to Unity as axes unless I map them to the left &amp; right sticks. This is not enough since I lose use of the sticks, I can only fit 4 of the 6 channels of data, and the values coming through are clipped into a narrow range. Motioninjoy (0.7.1001): does not appear to detect the DS4 as a controller (latest docs refer only to DS3 and prior) GlovePIE (0.43): after following  for using the DualShock 3 with LibUSB-Win32 (a long shot), SixAxis properties are all blank.   In the past I've used external programs like GlovePIE to capture Wii remote motion sensor data and pass it to Unity via , so I'd be open to an approach like this if I can't get Unity to read the controller's sensors directly through its .  Anyone had luck with this?

I have just moved back to Ubuntu from Windows 7 and a few months ago, I bought a NETGEAR WNA3100 wireless adapter because my old adapter had broken. I plugged in my adapter and it doesn't seem to work, I also used the windows 7 drivers for it and tried them on the program "Windows Wireless Drivers" and they don't seem to recognize the device. However I have heard you need XP drivers but I can't seem to find them on the internet nor find them on the CD.  Could anyone help me get my wireless adapter to work? Any help is greatly appreciate.   P.S I do have internet connection though I have to tether my phone to my computer and then connect my phone to my router.

I got the  in order to interface with an I2C peripheral through a USB port on my Windows 7 computer.  The VCP drivers seem to install correctly, and a COM port is assigned to the module, and can be opened by a terminal emulator. However, I cannot seem to get any signal in or out of the module. That is, I see no activity when I send data through the port, or receive any data when I connect an I2C device to it (this was debugged using a scope). I have also verified that the RESET isn't on.  I found very little helpful information out there on how to get this module to work, so if anyone has experience with it, or with similar FTDI modules, my question is: what are the steps that I need to take in order to get the module to communicate?

I have tried adding i8042.nomux=1 to the kernel parameters, but it didn't change anything... Any hint ?

I successfully followed  to set different sensitivities for my touchpad and my USB mouse. Only problem is, once you unplug and replug the device or shutdown, restart etc., the settings reset.
