Launchbox does not see my Logitech G923 wheel?

[Alumriel]

Logitech G923 Xbox/PC wheel arrived today. Works perfectly fine in Windows and MAME, but Launchbox/BigBox doesn't see it. I have checked "Enable Game Controllers". Any ideas?

LaunchBox just uses the Microsoft built-in directx controller support, so there must be some miscommunication happening between that particular controller and directx.

You could try a third party controller mapping program that would convert your inputs into an emulated xinput controller. I've had good luck with x360ce in the past.

The wheel is detected just fine in Forza Horizon 5, and other games, on the same PC, and is shown in dxdiag. The problem only exists in Launchbox, so I'm a bit skeptical of the conclusion that the problem exists outside of Launchbox.

I'm going to submit a bug for this.

I see the last post was 2022.  I have the same issue in December 2024.  Were there a work around or an update to solve this issue.  I am using LaunchBox 13.17.  I want to use my G923. It shows in windows, and I can play windows games and MAME Games however to navigate in launchbox I have to use my keyboard.
