SimpleController

This plugin is based on the SDL Framework and allows the use of much more controllers under UE4. It supports DirectInput and XInput Controllers. It runs independently of the UE4 controller settings. Controller inputs are fired via new Events. You can use these Events in almost all Blueprints. Not only in the Player Controller Blueprint. They work independently of the Focus. Rumble is supported. Force Feedback since Version 1.5.

I don't like special sales. My prices are low all year round. 

Nativization may cause problems and should be disabled in BPs that use this plugin.

You can try the plugin before you buy it. (Win64 EXE, ~100MB) Demo Download. Force Feedback Vehicle (Wheel) Demo Download
