    My controller doesn't work for some reason. It is connected by a USB port. When I first got it, it worked fine but it has been a year now. Do I need to do something to connect it properly?

    Does BeamNG recognise it?

    Why do you want to play Beam with an arcade stick?

    Does your OS recognizes it?
    Does it come with some drivers you have to install?

    To which question?
    If your OS is not recognizing the controller, than that's the issue.
    The game cannot detect a controller that is not detected from Windows itself.

    When I hooked up my controller to play Rigs of Rods (which also worked with BeamNG) I installed the controller map thing, so the controller knew what did what and downloaded the drivers, that was it.

    My controller, for some reason, isn't actually getting any power from my laptop

    If your laptop isn't providing enough power through that USB port, you may try using a different USB port, or using a powered USB hub.

    Also, what cable are you actually using? From my “research” when I hooked up my Xbox controller via USB-C apparently some manufacturers cheap out when making them and just put in capabilities for charging, and not data transfer.
