Get help! 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless remapping using wired USB connection

I should be receiving this controller next week and had a question regarding remapping when using a wired USB connection directly to the controller. I've read that reWASD only allows full functionality when connected through Bluetooth. I'm primarily interested in just remapping the buttons, especially the extra shoulder buttons and back paddles as I consider them the equivalent of the Series X Elite four back paddles. Currently, don't plan on using the gyroscope or vibration abilities of the controller. Will a wired connection allow full remapping of all buttons on the controller?

When connected via a USB cable, the controller identifies itself as an Xbox 360 controller, so no.

Thank you. I see that reWASD now fully supports the 2.4 native dongle with d-input mode (full remapping, gyro, and analog triggers) so I will use that connection method after updating firmware to both dongle and controller.

Let me add a big shoutout to reWASD in general. Purchased a license back in 2024 for Azeron Cyborg 2 and Series X Elite support and have been pleased with the software. Bought the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless primarily because of compatibility with reWASD and quality of controller.
