Xbox Controller prompts for all games when I have a Dual Sense
Looks like in my whole steam, every game I click in the compatibility I see the following:
"Your Xbox controller" when I do not have an Xbox controller, but only a Dual Sense/Playstation 5.
I had once a generic controller that "mimics" an Xbox controller, but I don't use it for over an year. Yet Steam thinks that's my very favorite one!
Also, all games I have will show ABXY Xbox prompts.
I even already tried to edit the ...Steam/config/config.vdf file I found around in google, but no success... Still Steam insists on talking only Xbox to me.
Please help, this completely screws my gaming experience since I had playstation/nintendo my whole childhood and Xbox pattern actually totally confuses me.
Thanks

Try disabling Steam input for the game that is showing the Xbox icons. If the game supports the DualSense controller and has been developed to use the controller it should show the proper PS icons.

Blame microsoft for bribing all developers to only recognize their xbox abominations.

Wipe windows. Install Mint or Kubuntu.

Thanks. It works for the games that has support for dual sense. But on the older games the controller just stop working at all.
What is really funny is that the games I'm trying to play are ports from PLAYSTATION.
So they do have PS prompts, but apparently steam will never allow me to show them.

For games that support the PS4 DualShock controller but don't work with the DualSense try using the DS4 Windows program. This will emulate the DualShock controller and should show the PS4 prompts for games that are supported.

I use this program for playing a game like Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The DualSense is not recognised and doesn't work natively but using DS4 allows it to work with PS4 button prompts.

The Steam input setting should be available per-game as well.

That's because they just changed the images. They are just using whatever controller is there, and using one set of images because the original Playstation game didn't support different images for different controllers either.
