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

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.
