Title: How well do your gaming controllers work on your X99?
Post by: digital nomad on December 16, 2014, 12:34:58 am
I recently flashed to BIOS F8g and tried out my USB controllers regarding being able to successfully reboot (or cold boot) to the windows desktop.

Connected a CH Products Pro Pedal - reboot successful
Then added CH Products Pro Throttle - reboot successful
Then added CH Products Fighterstick - reboot and LOCKS UP @ Gigabyte logo (DAMN!)

I need all three for Flight Simulators but I can only get 2 to cold boot. It makes me wonder if Gigabyte tests with only 1 controller

Then I plugged in a Fanatec ClubSport Wheelbase with V2 Pedals and V1 SQ Shifter.
If the power is off while booting it's fine, if powered on it LOCKS UP @ Gigabyte logo.

I ordered a powered hub with a on/off switch for the CH Products controllers and intend on booting with switch off, then power on at the desktop. I think that be a good work around.

I'm curious to know how well everybody else's controllers work in absence of a mature, working BIOS

I have the same problem with Dualshock 4 controller, using BIOS up to F8C (x99 G1 WIFI)

Haven't try the F8G and F8 BIOS yet.

I connected 4 Xbox Controllers for Windows to my PC and it REBOOTS NO PROBLEM. I understand the Sony Dualshock 4 requires a wrapper or something to work. It just doesn't seem like a priority to get the BIOS to recognize it being it's not Microsoft hardware, unfortunately.

the PS4 controller stuck on BIOS logo maybe 70% of the time, higher chance if I restart the PC.

yeah, I'm using a software to make the controller works properly, but the software only run after windows is loaded not during boot up.

I just flashed the F8 BIOS from Gigabyte. I can still only get 2 flight simulator controllers to boot reliably, sometimes 3. So you might want to try the new F8. Maybe booting 1 PS4 controller will boot ok now.
