controller wont stay recognized

[2P-13]

I have choice between keyboard and controller...I switch to controller, but hitting ESC
seems to kick it back to keyboard.
Am I missing a way for the game to simply accept the option that IT provides????
$50 for 40 minutes of frustration (counting that stoooopid green ring of wasted life)

Ya it doesn't recognize my controller other than the left analog stick. Filed a support ticket and they said it's my fault. The usual bs about update drivers etc. Finally got it kind of working. If you customize the keyboard layout using the controller buttons. It's weird but at least I can play.

Operation-Controller Button-What the Keyboard Menu says it is.
Essentially select the keyboard key you want to rebind and press the controller button you want.

Gas - "Y"- Page down
Fr Brake/Rev - "X" -Page up
Steer Left-"Left Analog Right" - The game flips this why idk
Steer Right - "Left Analog Left" - Again in game it's flipped? So left is right, right is left.
Rear Brake - "B" - Space Bar
Weight Forward - "Left Analog Forward"
Weight Backward - "Left Analog Down"
Weight Left-"Left Shoulder"-Left Control
Weight Right-"Right Shoulder"- Left Alt
View Behind-"Y"-Page Down

Had gas on the "A" button but of course it glitched out. This is not the most comfortable way to play but it works for now. It doesn't recognize the triggers and the right analog stick is the mouse cursor.

Game doesnt see my (SteelSeries) joystick at all.
even in keyboard, it wont rebind anything from the controller...
Hoped some of you PC guru guys knew of a file from MXGP series that might 'port' over via cut/paste that might work...
im getting better at the keyboard racing though...reminds me of 20 years ago, racing the Indycar game with arrows!!
