Additional Details

[ndeadly]

I will add a handler for this controller. Quick question: there are possibly few inputs missing, does the controller have analog stick buttons (ie. L3/R3) and is there anything else that changes for L2/R2 other than the `ff`` values (these are analog, but there is also often a digital value)? Also, which is the "middle" button you've noted above? In the picture I see a home button, and another one below it. One of these is missing from your transcription

Thanks for getting back so quickly. To answer your questions:

1. The analog sticks do indeed have buttons. I totally forgot about them.

• 01 80 7F 80 7F 00 00 00 20 00 5a 00 Left Stick Button
• 01 80 7F 80 7F 00 00 00 40 00 5a 00 Right Stick Button

2. I did not see other values change for L2/R2.
3. The "middle" button is the one below the home button. The home button (as well as the media control buttons) did not show any changes when pressed in your application so I omitted them in the report. When checking with hidapitester on a computer the home button gives me the following value (don't know if this is of much use to you):

• 02 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Home Button

Ok, I've added these missing mappings. Next issue: the controller uses the same ID as another controller (ipega), so we need some other identifying feature to differentiate them. Can you find the name the controller is using? IIRC my btdb app will show that.

[EnjoyJazz]

Hi I tried using the btdb app but unfortunately it crashed while starting. Is there any other way to get the name of the controller? By connecting it to a computer maybe?

[ndeadly]

On newer firmwares (17.0.0+) you need to disable Mission Control in order to load btdb. There are not enough free handles available for accessing one of the services it requires with Mission Control claiming one.

[EnjoyJazz]

Okay great, that worked. Thank you for the explanation. btdb gave me the following output for the controller:

10:ae:60:4d:af:c6 1949:0402 Amazon Fire Game Controller

[EnjoyJazz]

@ndeadly is there any information from my side still missing? would love to have this controller available :)

[ndeadly]

Oh sorry, I totally forgot about this one. I think if all the buttons were working it just needs a workaround to stop it being detected as an ipega controller. Try this

MissionControl-0.13.5-amazon-fire-dfc95e22.zip

I just got around to testing: This works! Thank you
