FourEwer
Explorer

i used to play a lot emulators and Minecraft Be in normal 2D mode on my Q2 (cuz my phone is weak to run it) using an generic gamepad (Ípega) and it works perfectly, but on lasted updates v54-v55 the gamepad is not working like a gamepad but as a pointer, when i press any buttom it just show a dot on minddle of my screen that follow my head and i can only click and move pages up and down, exaclty like when u controll ur quest by the volume buttom.

 

(plus: on bluetooth devices connected page it shows me an gamepad icon meaning the quest knows that is a gamepad but treat like a pointer)

I've been dealing with this as well. I've gone through the steps you listed and still cannot get my controller to work. I've even tried using a USB-C to USB-C cable to connect them.

 

What else can I try at this point?
