XInput USB Type not available for Teensy 4.1

[Techno]

I am trying to use XInput with a Teensy 4.1, and I cannot find XInput as the USB Type. I am using Arduino IDE 2.3.4, Teensy 1.59.0 Board Manager and XInput 1.2.6.
The XInput USB Type shows up for Teensy 4.0, Teensy 3.6 and some of the other boards.

Did you install this extra library for Teensy to add an additional USB mode ("XInput"): https://github.com/dmadison/ArduinoXInput_Teensy ?

Yes I did:

/System/Volumes/Data/Users/arushgarg/Library/Arduino15/packages/teensy/hardware/avr/1.59.0/cores (folder contents shown in the attached image)

And then, I replaced the files in teensy3 and teensy4 folders with the files from this repo

Did you also copy boards.txt?
If I understand the instructions correctly you need to copy the cores folder from Github over your existing cores folder and the boards.txt file.

I just tried that, and it still does not show the XInput USB Type.
Thanks for trying though!

I am having the same problem. Did you find a solution?

There’s this 2.5 year old bug report, with workaround: https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/1030 Maybe try that?

Thanks. I tried that but unfortunately it didn’t change anything.

I tried installing the Xinput library from the latest zip file on GitHub and that fixed the problem for me.
