    Is there any way to do this? I've been using the "IsConnected" check for GamePadState, but it always returns false on a PC, regardless of whether the controller is connected/detected or not.

    Does the gamepad otherwise work? ie. can you read input values from it?

    Do other games and samples work with this gamepad?

    What does the input reporter utility (on this site) report?

    Yeah, everything you listed works fine.

    Anyways, I just found the problem... it was a really stupid mistake on my part. I forgot to do "GamePad.GetState" before checking whether it was connected or not...
