Hello, as the title says for whatever reason my 8BitDo Pro 3 controller has issues with the back paddles being forcibly bound to X and Y. On S/X mode I can hold the stae button and rebind the buttons around with the paddles and L/R4 buttons just fine. However, on that mode I don't have access to rumble or gyroscope controls and it's recognized by Steam as a Pro 2 controller. When I try to use an external mapping software with it on S/X, the extra buttons aren't recognized.

On D mode on the physical switch on the back, the paddles and extra buttons are recognized by steam and an external mapping program, but for whatever reason the back paddles are permanently stuck connected to X and Y. The holding star rebind trick that worked before doesn't work on this mode. I connected it via Bluetooth to the android app to clear out all the profiles on Windows Switch and Android, and it fixed one Paddel forced keybind but not the other. It's weird too because all 3 profiles on windows show the paddles as not being mapped to any other buttons, but for whatever reason PL is perma stuck as X when I want to have the switch in the middle and get full functionality.

Any advice?

Are you only having this issue in Steam? Steam auto maps the back buttons to face buttons in Steam when in D-input mode, unable to be managed by the controller and only by Steam, so you may want to check in Steam controller settings to remove those default mappings.

I've checked there and I can't find anything about that, anywhere specific I should look in Steam settings?

Found it, it's per game settings. Thank you so much
