Not recognised in games as a controller

[cRazi-man]

I'm having trouble with getting this working. I've uploaded to the Arduino Pro micro and Windows recognises it as a game controller. It recognises all the button presses. But Steam can't see it as a controller and games don't recognise the controller. It is not showing up as an XInput device. Any advice on how to resolve this?

I'm new to Arduino so need things a bit dumbed down please.
Thanks

I know this issue was posted a long time ago, but I was having the same issue as found a fix.

Just go to the Steam settings > controllers

from there, I activated “generic controller entry” or something like that, and steam detected the controller as “Arduino Leonardo Controller”, after that I had to map the controls to the Arduino inputs and it all worked as expected.

That's because, in fact, it is not an XInput device.
