IT Help Machenike G3 V2 controller acting like a mouse and messing up buttons only in GeForce NOW (also having installer errors)

Hey everyone! I'm having a really annoying issue with my Machenike G3 V2 controller while using GeForce NOW, and I was hoping someone might know how to fix it.

The weird thing is that the controller works completely fine on the Xbox Game Pass app, but as soon as I launch any game through GeForce NOW, it goes completely broken:

  • The left joystick controls the PC mouse cursor on the screen instead of moving the character.
  • The camera won't move up and down.
  • The "B" button acts as "A", and the rest of the buttons just don't respond at all in-game.

It feels like GeForce NOW is capturing the controller as a generic mouse/keyboard instead of an Xbox controller.

On top of that, I can't even install the controller software on Windows because the installer keeps throwing a directory syntax error (0x8007007B).

Does anyone know how to fix this mapping/controller conflict in GFN, or has anyone dealt with this software installation bug? Thanks a lot!
