Controller not detected

Nexus cannot see the physical controller.

  1. Start the controller service. Confirm the matching input family is enabled.
  2. Try a known data cable and another USB port. Charging alone is not enough.
  3. Check Windows device status and any hiding rules. Nexus must be allowed to read the controller.
  4. Close other controller mappers and test again.

Connection Checks separates Windows presence, physical input and virtual output. A Windows device node does not prove reports are arriving.

Still stuck?

Prepare a support report or return to the troubleshooting hub. A browser controller test can help observe input, but does not verify Nexus mappings, virtual output or every feedback feature.
