    Help! I can't get this game pad to look up and down in Portal!

    So I am a very very happy girl because I just got Portal, and right away I decide to goof off with the Muzak and I discover that I can't look down D:


    Absolutely everything is configured right as far as I can see, and all of the controls work perfectly except for looking up and down! I can make do with the mouse for now, but when I get further in the game it's going to be a big problem. I googled my problem, and I saw a few other people in the same situation, but the links to the places with solutions no longer work. I'm using a Nyko Air Flow or whatever, btw.


    (I don't like to use the keyboard/mouse configuration because it is just awkward on a laptop without a USB mouse. I probably wouldn't anyway.)

    Like I'd help you now.

    Also, try updating the driver or disabling and enabling is in system/hardware manager.

    I've done everything I can think of


    It's just the look up/down thing that doesn't work, and it doesn't work. I assigned I and K to be look up/down in Portal, and I assigned them to the up/down positions on the right analog stick.

    Neither the up/down positions on the analog nor the I/K keys will work. I think this is something I need to resolve in the game's options or something, but I can't figure out what it is I need to do S:

    Maybe it is just one faulty part.

    Try inverting the up/down command. There is usually a option like that.

    And check the cable.

    If you have a multimeter, open it up and check the wires for up and down.

    Inverting didn't work

    Every button works fine in everything but Portal.

    I've tried assigning different keys, but the same thing happens.



    EDIT:


    I'm such an idiot. All I had to do was map the right joystick to the mouse.


    ...that still doesn't solve the mystery of why it wouldn't work with the keyboard >.>
