No gamepads detected on macOS since 4.3

[ahihi]

Tested versions

Reproducible: 4.3, 4.4-beta3
Not reproducible: 4.2

System information

Godot v4.3.stable - macOS 12.7.6 - Vulkan (Forward+) - dedicated AMD Radeon RX 580 - Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU W3690 @ 3.47GHz (12 Threads)

Issue description

my USB controllers, which work fine in Gamepad Tester as well as the SDL2 Gamepad Tool, are not recognized by Godot. no inputs are detected in the input map menu, and Input.get_connected_joypads() is empty.

the controllers are

• Logitech Dual Action (G-UF13A)
• Mayflash F300 (tested in both XInput and DirectInput modes)

Steps to reproduce

create a new project, run print(Input.get_connected_joypads()) in any script, or try to assign controller buttons in the input map menu.

i tested 4.2 as well, it works fine there!

Same problem with Logitech F310 (XInput and DirectInput modes). Joypad works just fine with any other game.

Godot 4.4 stable (Forward+/Mobile/Compatibility same), macOS 10.15

Same problem here:

• 8BitDo Pro2 Wired Gamepad
• D-input mode
• MacOS 14.6.1
• Works up to Godot 4.2.2, but stops working at Godot 4.3 (v4.3.stable.official) and onwards
• Steam, other games, Gamepadtester.com and Enjoyable all recognize the controller

Input.get_connected_joypads() returns an empty array

The Input Map settings do not recognize any inputs when listening for inputs

Using a completely empty project.

Apparently, someone has functioning joypad support on macOS using Godot 4.3: #44840 (comment) with same OS version as @johnnybib

that appears to be a Bluetooth controller, whereas the ones mentioned here are all USB.

Indeed, thanks!

According to this issue, USB joypads are working again on macOS since at least Godot 4.4.1:

When I run the same project with 4.4.1, controller inputs are registered correctly.

That user has MacOS Sequoia 15.1 (24B2082), though

If it's not working for you in Godot 4.4.1, could you please test #106218?
