Yesterday, I bought a Razer Huntsman V3 Pro, and everything was going great until I tried to use a controller. I quickly realized that no matter what I did, no game detected my inputs. Once I closed Synapse and restarted, the issue went away. The only issue with this is that I then lose all my RGB customization on my keyboard. Is there any way I can get controllers to work with Synapse? Is there something super obvious I'm just missing? I find it really weird that a $250 keyboard just voids out all controller support. I looked this up online and found absolutely nothing, which brings me here.

First, which way is the PS5 controller connecting to your pc, wired or bluetooth? Also which way are the peripherals connected?Personally, I use a few different controllers depending on the game I’m playing such as DualSense 5, XBox One & Series X as well as a Pro-Type controller I built myself. I can honestly say NONE of them have given me problems when using them (Win11Pro with a Huntsman 2, Cynosa Lite, Basilisk X Hyper, Basilisk Gaming Mouse, and aMamba Wireless are the various peripherals I frequently use). The only time I see issues is when Steam is open while using a GamePad, it causes the pointer to jumpeverywhere.I was asking how they are connected because unless you are using a wired connection for DS5 controllers,you will need to get additional software such as DS4Windows, DualSenseX Free (or it’s paid alternative DSX on Steam) for lots of additional features including bluetooth support as well as button mapping & customization. You can also use Steam and a few other similar applications for additional Controller options.If the problems persist, reply & I’ll help as best I can.
