 Description   

on gamepad is button called R2 and in mcpe probably trigger 1
and this button doesn't work, button on the other side (R1, trigger 0) works well. and in other games trigger 1 (R2) works too so im sure it is MCPE bug.

If you have any other affected controllers (that are not already on the list), please add a comment with your controller and one of the mods will add it to the list

Affected controllers:

  • Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Wireless Gamepad
  • Logitech Gaming F710 Wireless Gamepad

Tried Minecraft Bedrock 1.16.0 on Xiaomi Mi 9T and Meizu M3 Note with Logitech F710 gamepad. On both phones triggers are not recognized by Minecraft, but Gamepad Tester detects triggers as buttons BUTTON_L2 and BUTTON_R2.

I have the same issue with Minecraft Bedrock 1.11.4  on Android.

I have the same controller (Xiaomi bluetooth controller) but a different phone (Mi A1, Android 9) My Right trigger works with all other games but not in Minecraft. Every other button is recognized except that one.

To clarify, Left trigger works fine, it's just the right trigger that doesn't.

Sorry but I bought the xiaomi mi a few years ago since I saw that you could play minecraft and when I tried it I realized that the R2 or RT was not working but they had just developed the compatibility so I did not say anything but now many updates have already happened and I see this post and it should be solved but it does not help me to apologize for English because I use a translator

Same issue on 1.1.0.9. I had to dig into system files in order to change gamepad oem-files. after some research I managed to make R2 work. But this method requires root access.

Reopening based on several user reports that have been submitted

Comment by Henrik Kurelid [ 29/Nov/16 ]

As it is not possible (for me) to update Affects Version/s, I just want to confirm that this issue still remains in 0.17.0.1.

Please reopen as more people seems to face the same issue with different controllers.

Comment by nazamar zuvay [ 20/Sep/16 ]

Issue still exists in 0.15.8.0, Please reopen issue, Bug can still be Reproduced the way Hendrik Kurelid explained

1.Find a gamepad with L2 and R2 buttons (e.g. Xiaomi Gamepad) (buttons, that is - not triggers).
2.Open MCGVR Edition, go to the "Controller Layout" option
3.Try to assign L2 or R2 to any action - Not possible

I bought 3 Controllers by the time, none of them worked. Can't play the game on GVR.

Comment by Henrik Kurelid [ 11/Aug/16 ]

Issue still exists in 0.15.6. Please reopen issue and let us know if we can assist in pinpointing the problem.

Comment by Graeme Boal [ 13/Jul/16 ]

Same issue with the Xiaomi Wireless controller. R2 Button is recognised but does not work at all. Please reopen this Jira and advise if there's a fix

Comment by stephane Germain [ 10/Jul/16 ]

Still on 0.15.2

Comment by Henrik Kurelid [ 18/Jun/16 ]

The issue still remains on 0.15.1. I can't update the issue in any way, just comment and attach files. Hence I ask someone that can to reopen the issue and add the version.

Here is how to reproduce:

  1. Find a gamepad with L2 and R2 buttons (buttons, that is - not triggers).
  2. Verify that the buttons give the correct key events, e.g. for L2, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BUTTON_L2, or value 104 (see screenshot)
  3. Open MCPE and go to the "Controller Layout" option
  4. Try to assign L2 or R2 to any action - Not possible

Hope this helps pinpoint the issue.

I am afraid we can not reproduce this bug in the recent version. Please update affected versions if this bug still occurs.

Comment by Henrik Kurelid [ 12/Jun/16 ]

I have the same issue. I have two gamepads. On my MadCatz c.t.r.l.r, the right and left trigger buttons are actually triggers (analog). Everything works fine in MCPE using that gamepad. However, on my second gamepads, these buttons are buttons (digital). Other games and apps recognize these as buttons, but in MCPE, I can't assign these buttons to any action in the gamepad config option.
Same issue with 0.14.3 and 0.15 beta.

Comment by stephane Germain [ 11/Jun/16 ]

Same issue here. With mad catz ctrlr micro, else the initial x button is impossible to do.
I compare the keycode (with HWChecker) with a working controller and it is the same.
I have 0.14.3 on samsung S7 and vr gear

Comment by kaleb418 [ 28/May/16 ]

Does this still affect 0.14.3?

Also happens in Gear VR with a Terios T-3 Bluetooth Gamepad (https://youtu.be/wDWKzJrOYLw)
