Unity - Steel Series Nimbus Input

Question

I am trying to use my Steel Series Nimbus as a wireless remote for my iOS game but I can't get the input to work. The left and right stick work just fine but none of the buttons, triggers or bumpers work at all. I think it is something to do with my Input Manager Settings. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated if you could give me an answer.

Many Thanks,

Tommy :)

but none of the buttons, triggers or bumpers work at all. I think it is something to do with my Input Manager Settings.

Maybe you are not reading them correctly? Use the code below to find out all the Steel Series Nimbus Joystick button KeyCodes then use the KeyCode to detect when the Button is pressed.

Simply connect the Controller, Create simple Text on the screen then drag it to the text slot. Build and Run. While running, press buttons on the controller and write down their KeyCodes. These KeyCodes you should then use to properly detect button that is pressed later on. You can learn more about iOS controller support here.

public class KeyCodeFinder : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Text text;

    Array allKeyCodes;

    void Start()
    {
        allKeyCodes = System.Enum.GetValues(typeof(KeyCode));
    }

    void Update()
    {
        foreach (KeyCode tempKey in allKeyCodes)
        {
            if (Input.GetKeyDown(tempKey))
            {
                text.text = "Pressed: KeyCode." + tempKey;
                Debug.Log("Pressed: KeyCode." + tempKey);
            }
        }
    }
}

Answer 2

It wont work unless you are testing your build directly on Apple tv or an iOS device.

I made a test scene that detects the joystick button 0 and so on and I can confirm this are the numbers for the keys for the nimbus. I will help you out by writting them down here :)

Joysticks axis Joystick Left X axis, Y axis Joystick Right X 3rd axis, Y is 4th axis

Dpad UP _ joystick button 4 LEFT _ joystick button 7 DOWN _ joystick button 6 RIGHT _ joystick button 5

L1 _ joystick button 8 L2 _ joystick button 10

R1 _ joystick button 9 R2_ joystick button 11

X_ joystick button 15 Y_ joystick button 12 A_ joystick button 14 B _ joystick button 13 // careful this is back button on apple tv and returns to dashboard

Menu center button _ joystick button 0

I am trying to figure out how to make menu and B buttons not take you out of the app
