Game showing PS4 inputs with a different controller

[kirbo]

Hi, so i just started playing YK2, I use the switch pro controller but i believe both 0 and K1 treated it as an Xbox controller and everything worked perfectly.
I began playing K2 and when you arrive at the graveyard i was checking the what the controls did, i had xbox buttons in there but for some reason they then became PS4 inputs and even after restarting the game they were still like that
I fully restarted Steam and had my regular button visuals again, and THEN i discovered they get switched when I press up on the Dpad (open the phone camera). It looks like unless i fully exit steam it wont get fixed.
Any idea if there's a way to... fix this? idk if the camera is what actually causes this, seems to be what caused it in both times ive got this now, but it might just randomly switch for all i know...
Its kind of annoying to see those inputs knowing thats not whats actually there, its confusing

Welp might as well comment how it went for me, i did some digging around with the correct search terms and its turns out the issue itself presents because its a Nintendo Switch Pro controller, from what i was able to understand the controller uses some sort of input type (?) that the Dualshock 4 also has, and such Kiwami 2 for some reason thinks its a PS4 controller and switches to that.
In the end some answer i found said to just boot up the game while in big picture mode, and thankfully that did fix it for me. I'll admit at one point my cable probably got moved hard and it disconnected briefly, after this it switched to PS4 buttons again lol, but i just rebooted and it fixed itself, played for like 4 hours and all good.
I was about to actually replace the game assets with the buttons, something someone actually did because for some reason nothing else worked for them, but oh well at least just before doing the process i read on another answer to just try big picture
Just in case i'll link here some of the helpful links i found so hopefully Google/Steam search can reference this post in case someone ends up running into this issue in the future (again i took a while to find info because i wasn't using the right search terms)

Here's a thread of the person that had to replace the textures of the buttons, according to the replies it worked for many others:

though try big picture first and see if it works
SEGA is the one at fault because something in the game makes the Switch Pro Controller bug out to change the button layout and well, its unlikely they will fix it
i am hoping the rest of the yakuza games don't have this either, its a bit annoying to have steam replaced with big picture when i wanna browse some of its pages while in-game, but for now it seems its my solution to the issue

I've faced this issue too and found that Big Picture Mode is the best way to fix it. As far as I'm aware, this bug isn't in other games, I'd assume it would only appear in Dragon engine games (Kiwami 2, 6 and LAD). I haven't played 6 yet so I can't speak for that but LAD has support for Switch Pro already.
