Gamepad

I've been running a game for a PC from a keyboard and mouse. When I tried plugging a joystick into it, for some actions none of the various buttons or movements seemed to work (and the keyboard and mouse were completely disabled).

Would a gamepad (or controller) be what it's looking for? However this only has buttons numbered 1 to 4, while at one point it was asking for button 6 to be pressed.

    It's Toy Story 3. (Obviously, it's the kids who play it, not me..)

    Yes a gamepad, an xbox 360 one will work. :)

    The 360 gamepad for Windows works on most games for Steam and I've had few problems though some games still respond better to keyboard ;)

    The 360 (wired) pad for Windows is the default gamepad expected by most PC games.

    You can also now use the Xbox One pad with a wired connection as well.

    Yes the wired 360 controller works faultless, but get an official one.
