    Connect your HORI controller

    Wireless HORIPAD for Steam supports XInput over USB, not Bluetooth, according to its support guidance. A Bluetooth connection therefore should not be assumed to produce the same standard gamepad layout.

    Fighting Commander OCTA for Windows is a fightpad, not a conventional two-stick controller. Match the exact platform edition and switch settings before interpreting its button and axis counts.

    1. Confirm the controller’s platform mode and supported connection. Use a USB data cable or the receiver specified for that exact model.
    2. Focus this page, press a face button and choose the responding device from the connected-controller menu.
    3. Press and release each control. Check raw indices if the device has no standard mapping.
    4. Record your connection, software profile and trigger-stop setting before saving a snapshot.

    Fightpad layout: inspect actual button/axis responses rather than expecting two physical sticks.

    Fightpad readings need a different checklist

    For a fightpad, concentrate on the D-pad, face buttons, shoulders and any fitted stick. A standard-looking browser mapping is not proof that the device physically has two analog sticks or analog triggers.

    Check directional inputs one at a time and then diagonally. If a mode switch changes whether a direction appears as buttons or axes, save a note and start a fresh comparison.

    Steam Input can add a virtual mapping to HORIPAD for Steam. Record whether that software is active and select the responding device instead of assuming the first gamepad entry is the physical controller.

    Turn a reading into a useful comparison

    Check one variable at a time. For unwanted stick movement, release the sticks onto a stable surface and run the ten-second resting test. For a missing action, compare a direct button press with its rear-button assignment. Save a note identifying the active profile so a later result can be reproduced.

    The browser-reported device name can describe a virtual gamepad. The optional model reference is your selection, not automatic hardware identification. Brand listing does not guarantee vibration, independent paddles or vendor-specific controls in your browser.
