hi at all !
after searching, reading for hours i found a tool which enables to manage Input from several gamepads, especially Input from the same Buttons on each pad. Which isn’t possible without a tool

here’s the link to download : GitHub - JISyed/Unity-XboxCtrlrInput: XboxCtrlrInput is a C# wrapper for Unity3D that aims to handle Xbox 360 controller input with multiple controllers on multiple platforms
it’s free and up to date (Unity 5.5) and well documentated ! And it works perfectly !
by the way: many thx to JISyed !

the only one prob i had was that the sensitivity of the joysticks handling was very very high. And wasn’t to change in the editor. So i’ve left it to 1 in the editor and set a float
( steeringfactor) in my playerscripts like this

using UnityEngine;
using XboxCtrlrInput;
.
.
.
public XboxController playerNumber = XboxController.Second;

// Turning
            m_currTurn = 0.0f;
            float turnAxis= XCI.GetAxis(XboxAxis.LeftStickX, playerNumber);

            if (Mathf.Abs(turnAxis) > m_deadZone)
                m_currTurn = turnAxis * steeringfactor; // st_f = 0.175f 

//for example how the same buttons are used
// Booster
            if( XCI.GetButton(XboxButton.A, playerNumber) )
            {
                boost = m_forwardAcl * PowerBoost;

                m_body.AddRelativeForce(0 ,0,boost);
                MaxBoost = MaxBoost-1;
            }

I’m using a PS3 and XBox like gamepad. Both are little bit different in their own sensitivity and this way it’ s pretty easy to adjust each pad.
I hope this will be helpful for any other user especially for beginners as i am still :slight_smile:
