Good day bros!
You see, I bought this gamepad last last week and it works well, but yesterday, when i plug the controller in, it says "The USB device is not recognized" . Sometimes, it will work, sometimes it will not. It really gets frustrating. What do you think is the problem bros? the USB cable of the computer or my computer itself?
Plus. I have this old gamepad, when i plug it in, my computer reads it. The problem is that the buttons are ruined (the rubber something broke and the left analog stick messed up) can i swap the usb cables from my new gamepad to my old gamepad?

Thanks for reading!

Hello, thanks for the reply!
My operating system is Windows 7 32 bit, all usb devices work.

What i noticed is that after a period of time after i unplugged the gamepad, it will work.

for all who helped me, thanks!
I managed to fix the problem by doing this:
I opened my gamepad useing a screwdriver and adjusted the wiring inside. Then I managed to clean the inside too.

Then voila ! It worked !
