UWP Game Controller Registry

[Ben Carmichael]

I have this generic bluetooth gamepad that doesnt have any if its own drivers to install so windows sees it as a HID keyboard device. After reading this page: Registry data for game controllers - Windows UWP applications am i right in saying that if i edit my registry to map the inputs from the gamepad that it should work in my UWP games? Or is it that the game devs have to specifically support a controller?


I should note that my gamepad is detected and working in the X360CE app but this doesnt work for UWP apps, only x64/x32 native apps.


Thanks in advance, Ben
