I have a dualshock 4 controller, but windows games see it as an xbox controller.
Is there a way to force them to see the proper controller and thus show the proper input?
Any suggestion from proton to portproton to lutri is welcome

this would be specifically about what the game shows rather than the bindings itself

You can’t change what the game shows if it doesn’t have native support to show PS o Switch buttons.

this also happens with games i know for certain that should have support for ps buttons

Any examples? I think ive seen PS buttons before but i cant remember when, it’s almost always xbox layout/colors for me

I haven’t messed around with this on Linux because it doesn’t really bother me, so I have no idea what to change or how to fix it, but it sounds like whatever is handling controller input is passing it to the game as xinput instead of dinput.
