I am using a simple code to read input from a DirectInput device. I would like to add force feedback to the device, however when I run this test, I cannot find any ForceFeedbackActuator, however my device supports rumble effects.

public void Test(Joystick joystick) { joystick.SetCooperativeLevel(new WindowInteropHelper(Application.Current.MainWindow).Handle, CooperativeLevel.Background | CooperativeLevel.Exclusive); joystick.Properties.AxisMode = DeviceAxisMode.Absolute; joystick.Properties.AutoCenter = false; joystick.Acquire(); foreach (var deviceObjectInstance in joystick.GetObjects()) { if (deviceObjectInstance.ObjectId.Flags.HasFlag(DeviceObjectTypeFlags.ForceFeedbackActuator)) { } } }

I checked the Microsoft specification but found nothing so far.

However my driver is null as well:

deviceInstance.ForceFeedbackDriverGuid

But this can be set from registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM adding a new CLSID value for the current device.

Any help is appreciated.

  • \$\begingroup\$ How's the enumeration under XInput? Is this a feature for your controller that is only supported on the latter toolkit? Looks like everything else you are doing should is fine. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 20, 2018 at 21:58
  • \$\begingroup\$ I am using a Logitech F510, which can be used as XInput or DirectInput device. I cannot make this code work in either mode. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 21, 2018 at 20:16
  • \$\begingroup\$ Hmmm then in that case there are a couple and overly lengthy options. 1 would be to build a test harness in c++ to test that sharpdx is not supporting correctly your controller. If so then a ticket can be raised on the git hub issues. If not then you know it maybe something deeper with directx or driver. I assume you have some current directx 11 which works anyway which may point to a sharpdx issue \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 21, 2018 at 20:33

The CLSID i have used is invalid. I installed the official software of the device, and actuators are available now.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Hey this is an old post I know. But there has been frustrating little support and documentation on this. I'm having a similar issue. I know my device has force feedback capabilities but none of the joystick objects are flagged as such and driver GUI shows as a bunch of 0's when printed. I have little knowledge of what many of these things even mean. What is a CLSID? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 28, 2023 at 14:03
