This is mainly a cross-post from: [https://github.com/gabomdq/SDL\_GameControllerDB/issues/202](https://github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB/issues/202)

Turns out that many generic Chinese controllers based on the same _PC TWIN SHOCK_ board from _DragonRise Inc._ share the same USB vendor (`0x0079`) and product (`0x0006`) identifiers, but they also use slightly different button layouts, causing conflicts because the SDL2 gamepad GUID cannot distinguish between them.

My _NGS Phantom_ mainly conflicts with [Issue #86](https://github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB/issues/86) in Linux, and the “_G-Shark GS-GP702_” in Windows. Funnily enough in macOS looks like the GUID is slightly different, for some reason.

These are the correct mappings for Linux, macOS and Windows:

```auto
03000000790000000600000010010000,NGS Phantom---LNX,a:b2,b:b3,x:b0,y:b1,back:b8,start:b9,leftstick:b10,rightstick:b11,leftshoulder:b4,rightshoulder:b5,dpup:h0.1,dpdown:h0.4,dpleft:h0.8,dpright:h0.2,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightx:a3,righty:a4,lefttrigger:b6,righttrigger:b7,platform:Linux,
03000000790000000600000007010000,NGS Phantom---MAC,a:b2,b:b3,x:b0,y:b1,back:b8,start:b9,leftstick:b10,rightstick:b11,leftshoulder:b4,rightshoulder:b5,dpup:h0.1,dpdown:h0.4,dpleft:h0.8,dpright:h0.2,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightx:a3,righty:a4,lefttrigger:b6,righttrigger:b7,platform:Mac OS X,
03000000790000000600000000000000,NGS Phantom---WIN,a:b2,b:b3,x:b0,y:b1,back:b8,start:b9,leftstick:b10,rightstick:b11,leftshoulder:b4,rightshoulder:b5,dpup:h0.1,dpdown:h0.4,dpleft:h0.8,dpright:h0.2,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightx:a2,righty:a4,lefttrigger:b6,righttrigger:b7,platform:Windows,

```

I ship a game with these community mappings and I’m having trouble playing with my own controller because everything is subtly broken.

_PS_: Maybe @icculus can add some additional optional bits to tell them apart. Maybe by optionally matching by VID/PID/Version/Revision/Firmware instead of only VID/PID.

Maybe @Daniel_Gibson can post his gamepad output and see what is different.

Hello, as reported here: [https://discourse.libsdl.org/t/different-game-controllers-with-the-same-guid/25773](https://github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB/issues/url)…  
I have two devices have the same GUID under Linux, same vendor/product id, but they’re not exactly the same. One is from Dragonrise, the other is actually from Microntek.
