Has anyone has any luck playing it with a joystick on the PC? I've got several diffent controllers and they work but when I get to a chest where you need to shake to open it the controller won't shake it hard enough.

I usually have to go into the settings and switch back to the keyboard just to open it, that is such a pain.

i have ps2 pad connected, no problem with the chests here.... maybe you look in controller setup again?...

I have a problem with the gamepad I use to play my PC version of skylanders where the right analogue stick you use to insert keys/shake chests only works shaking along the Y axis. It does not respond at all to X axis movements and I have no idea why.
Most of the time it isn't a problem because I can still insert keys and, with some effort, shake open treaure chests, but it means I can't open the present boxes that contain hats because those require X axis movement for some reason.

Interestingly the X-axis on the right analogue stick works fine in the Windows Control Panel properties, so the problem is ocurring in Skylanders, not with my computer.
I've tried editing things in the controller options in Skylanders but so far I haven't found a way to fix this issue.

For now, I get around the problem of needing to open a hat box by activating co-op mode with the keyboard as the player 2 controller, using the extra skylander I now have control of to open the box with the keyboard controls.

Have you tried turning the controller 90 degrees clockwise?
