Hori Fighting Stick EX2 Win7 64Bit Not Recognized

[rtw]

Has anyone gotten this stick to be work under Windows 7 64 Bit ? Windows driver update does not find a suitable driver for it.

Might be worth a shot.

I have tried it implicitly since my XBOX360 wired controller is working 100%.

Hey there rtw,

I had something similar with my EX-SE. Here were my steps to rectify the problem:

• Install the 360 drivers
• Reboot
• Plug in the 3rd part 360 controller
• Open the device's properties from the device manager
• Manually specify a driver (use the Microsoft Common Controller.....)
• Enjoy

For whatever reason, the windows driver wasn't automagically assigned to the Hori controller..... Hope this helps.

Hmm I didn't have any problem with my Hori Fighting Stick VX, but then again I'm on 32-bit.

I will be switching to 64-bit soon though, so hopefully there are no hiccups like this.

It might be something that can be fixed by editing an .inf file and adding the hardware IDs, but that's always a pain in the rear.

Turns of that even though your xbox360 controller is recognized automatically by Win7 64 Bit it does not mean that other devices will be automatically recognized. So the initial suggestion from TransatlanticFoe was the only one needed to get it working.

Thanks for all suggestions and assistance, much appreciated!
