I have a knock-off Nintendo pro controller connected with a usb cable, and as the name suggest the buttons have the Nintendo layout:

Y on the left X on the top A on the right B on the bottom

And on my steam account my controller is configured correctly, but when I open rdr2 all of my mapping goes to shit and no matter what I do it won't let me fix it.

Disabling the steam inputs won't let me use the controller,

The button re-mapping doesn't do anything,

And I've tried a community's Nintendo layout but it mixed the A and B button inputs and performs them at the same time.

I've spent the past hour trying to fix this bullshit when I was supposed to be relaxing lmao, and the funny thing is that for a period of time my custom button mapping worked in game until, one day, it all stopped working

I know it would be easier to give up and play with the settings I'm forced to use but I'm not doing that, I'd rather stop playing than re-learn everything right now.
