Hi all, I’m looking for a controller that has fully remappable back buttons. By this, I mean buttons that can be mapped to additional functions in Steam Input (like the Steam Deck’s back buttons) not exclusively mapping to another button on the controller. For eg: I have 8BitDo Pro 2 controller, it’s back buttons can only be mapped to A, B, X, Y, L1, L2, L3, R1, R2, R3 etc only). Gyro would also be a nice added bonus, but not mandatory.
Is there any controller that matches such a specification? As I understand it, this is partly a limitation of the XInput API, which doesn’t allow for more than the standard 12 buttons. So, is there a DInput gamepad that works in that regard? How bout DS4 or Dualsense edge?
The DualSense Edge works with Steam Input which allows you to remap all the buttons, including the back buttons and FN buttons. The gyro and trackpads are also fully customizable just like on the Steam Deck. This means touch and radial menus work great on the trackpad.
Perfect, thanks a lot! I’ll give it a try.
