I got a PS4 controller and a USB dongle. Haven’t tried it yet. Can’t see anyone else mention this, but it should work, shouldn’t it? ---

I use an XBOX 360 controller on mine. I run a wired one because batteries and charging is inconvenient. ---

Have you tried cycling through the modes on the controller? There are 3 if memory serves me (I have an Elite machine now so its been a while) if you look at the manual that came with the controller you can go through each mode and one of them should control all 3-axis with zero issues… Provided you got the right model number. -Alex ---

It says press and hold for 5 seconds. But it just starts flashing and never changes any other modes. Old one use to cycle through them. ---

Sounds like they either sent you a different model. Or maybe somebody bought it and returned it. I don’t know. Did you get it on Amazon? If you did, is it still returnable? If it is and you’re interested, I would sell you mine which works great and I have a 3D printed wall holder for it as well Cheers’ Alex ---

U returned it no problem to Amazon. I have a degree in electronics I took it apart and fixed my old one. Works better now than before. Thanks for your feed back. [Previous page](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/what-joysticks-are-compatible/536.md?page=2)
