Controller Produces Double Input on PC

Two active input layers can make one button press register twice. Check for a physical and virtual controller representing the same pad.

Likely cause

Steam Input, game-native input, or another mapper can each expose a device to the game.

Diagnosis and next steps

1. Disconnect other controllers and close duplicate mapping utilities.
2. Test the game with one supported input path at a time.
3. Re-enable only the layer needed for that game and verify player assignment.

If the issue persists

Record the exact model label, host or console version, game version, and connection mode. Compare the linked maker instructions. You can report an outdated result with an official source URL.
