This can be an issue and force you to play your favorite game with mouse and keyboard. However, there’s a way to fix this problem.

What can I do if the USB joystick isn’t recognized?

1. Update your drivers

If you want to update all drivers on your PC with a single click, you can try using a third-party tool such as DriverFix to update outdated drivers automatically. Even a child could learn how to use it but first, you will need to download and install the tool. DriverFix will start instantly to search for driver issues after you start it. Leave it to work because in a few minutes it will show you a list of recommended drivers for installation. If you check the Select All box from the top of the list you will install all of them at once but you can also install the drivers one by one by selecting their corresponding boxes from the left. Of course, you also need to click on the installation button from their left.

2. Troubleshoot your device
