Hello, I've reached out for some support about Razer Raiju Controller (Tournament Edition) on PC for Apex Legends, because it is not working. When I connect dualshock v4 from my PS4, the game recon...

    Hello,

    I found solution and my controller is now working, so I will post it here for anyone having this problem to be solved.

    There may be many things that may keep you from playing with controllers, so I will try to explain what worked for me.

    I knew that controller is working, since in windows USB controllers settings I could find my razer controller and it was giving me feedback about button inputs, axis, etc. What I notice was, when I I turned on steam, controller was "kinda working". What it means, I was able to launch steam "big picture" and in games I could actually use controller, but only when I hold "PS button". Which is state you do not want to do, when you are playing.

    Here are 3 main problems and solution to what helped:

    1. Razer TE Driver (for firmware update) - you can download from official Razer Raiju Tournament Edition support page (was alread installed but still not working)

    https://support.razer.com/articles/1688837711

    2. Razer XInput TE driver - also from unofficial Razer support page (this was missing part, why it was not working, this maps and provides feedback to system for standardized inputs for every game outside of platforms such as steam, etc.)

    3. Order for controllers - (I am not saying for AL this may be problem, but I will write here anyway) Sometimes games picks up first controller (such as Sekiro), where simple solution may be to plug out other controllers or simple with every game run config for re-ordering controllers. Solution found not by me:

    4. Connectivity - the best and instant result I got when I plugged in via USB cable (not BT), even though you can connect via BT, you need to pair via PS + Options button, this will pair controller as input device. Make sure for all bluetooth drivers, etc.

    To summarize it, first 2 steps are crucial and your controller should be working without workaround 3rd party solutions as DS4 windows and joytokey. I did not know that I need extra driver for inputs to be able to play games (like this driver could be updated from first driver, but whatever, razer). I mean AL detects my PS controller as xbox one, but at least it is working.

    P.S.: Thanks for support on EA customer care (DIRK), even though we did not come up with solution, but at least he was willing to help.
