PS3 controller triggers work as buttons [SOLVED]
TheLinuxPlayer Jul 5, 2017
Hello.
I've been trying to get my DS3's triggers to be properly recognized as analog buttons so I can have more control when playing racing games. The ones I have are Rocket League, Dirt Showdown and GRID Autosport and have had no success in any of them. The thing is that using jstest-gtk it recognises all buttons perfectly with their analog function.
Somewhere on reddit I've read that all Feral ported games should work out of the box so GRID should (Dirt too?) be working.
Do you have any idea of a solution?
I'm running Arch 64 bit.

Thanks in advance

Thanks stan. I'll give it a try. It's just a little weird considering it's recognised out of the box; it even says in the Arch Wiki that DS3 and 4 should work just fine.

Yep. xboxdrv solved my problem. It's just weird for this not to work out of the box.
