I tried playing Forza Horizon 5 on my new PC with the PlayStation 5 controller plugged in. It didn’t work at all on Xbox/Forza, but Steam and my PC recognized it. I used an Xbox 360 emulator, which helped a bit. But whenever I pressed input, it switched back to keyboard controls instantly—like stuttering acceleration. It felt like the game was using my keyboard instead of the controller. Also, the game thought my controller was the audio output, so no sound came through. What should I do? Before this PC, I had a virtual machine for my laptop and everything worked fine there. I also used Windows 11 and a PS5 controller (not Bluetooth). I restarted everything and still have issues. Any suggestions?

The search results indicate the method works for controllers, though it may not be built-in for native Xbox games.

I’m mimicking the process by using the appropriate software to operate the controller on the computer. For audio, I’ll adjust the output to your speakers or headphones.

Purchase a PC controller for your system without issues. It performs better with Xbox controllers since Microsoft produces both. If the Xbox option is too costly, other choices exist. When budget isn’t a concern, nothing substitutes a physical steering wheel with pedals.

I utilize PS3 controllers on my PC, which means PS5 controllers should work too. If someone already owns them and uses them, it’s better to use what they have rather than purchasing alternatives. I just need to configure them correctly.

The controller functions properly with other titles while using the emulator. Only issues arise when playing Forza.

It depends on the device and settings. Unplugging the keyboard might affect some input methods. Checking controller configurations in Forza can help. Comparing launch methods, fullscreen options, or window settings could reveal differences from other games.

I attempted to disconnect it, but nothing changes. The game runs the same whether I start it normally or in a different mode.

I'm using a specific software to link and simulate the controller.
