I’m having a bit of some trouble here trying to setup my Xinmo controller buttons in LB and BB. The controller works just fine in windows. I can even move my mouse pointer with my joystick. I simply trying to navigate BB with my controller. In fact when I start a game like sf the buttons are already mapped. My controller works just fine when playing games. It’s just that I’m not able to control BB with it. Funny thing also is that LB and BB sees the controller but I just can’t setup any buttons. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Did you go into BB settings and map the controls?

By default there are some things mapped but not all joysticks/controllers work instantly without manual mapping. Not sure if that unit replicates keystrokes or buttons from a gamepad so you need to go into the keyboard mapping or controller mapping and do so if you have not.

I guess I should have mentioned that, I’ve tried to setup buttons in BB settings but as I’m trying to map buttons. I press the button/s on my xinmo controller and nothing happens. I get no response from the controller. That’s my problem. But when I go to windows settings to check the controller everything seems to work just fine. LB and BB recognize my controller but I have no button functionality nor controller movement. I can navigate BB with my keyboard and start and a game and then my xinmo controller works fine.

Which Xinmo unit do you have. They have a version that the encoder replicated keyboard keys and ones that replicate a gamepad (xinput/dinput)? 

You mentioned your mouse moves when you move the joystick so I am going to assume its they keyboard version. If so you need to go into keyboard mapping option in BB settings.

problem solved. My button switches were wired to NO normally open. When I switch the configuration NC normally close. I was able to set the buttons.  Also to note I'm using X360CE to control BB.  Everything seems to work fine.
