Dualsense Edge controller being recognized as XBOX in all steam games

[PHURH]

my Dualsense Edge controller is being recognized as an XBOX controller in all of my steam games (showing XBOX button prompts instead of PS4/5). i tried everything to change it (in controller settings, disable steam input, etc etc.) and nothing is working, i am getting REALLY frustrated with this and i just want to play with the damn controller

Do those games actually support Dualshock/Dualsense gamepads?
Most games do not offer button prompts for Sony gamepads.

PS prompts have to be implemented into the game by the developer, most choose not to, hence why you see XB prompts.

Some developers do included PS prompts such as Arkane with Prey (2017), Creative Assembly with Alien Isolation and Milestone with Motogp 23.

Sometimes you need to disable the Steaminput so that it shouldn't detect a gamepad. The game will detect then that you're using a PS5 gamepad.

Silly I know but it works.

Valve has recently vastly improved how the Dualshock gamepads are handled.

most games that i have support ps4/5 controllers, but show xb prompts and inputs. for example, far cry 6, bf1/5/2042, mk11, mk1, and more

Steam does not show prompts. The game does. If the game does not provide button prompts for DS4 or DS5 gamepads, then there is nothing Steam can do.

Supporting a controller and displaying its buttons is not necessarily going to be equal. Lots of games will except inputs from PS controllers while still displaying XBox buttons. That's not something Steam has control over. That's a game dev issue.

Games supporting controllers has zero to with whether the developer actually included PS prompts because if they did not then you will see XB prompts.

For example the Dishonored series by Arkane does not show PS prompts when a PS controller is connected, XB prompts are shown, whereas Prey (2017) by the same developer, Arkane does show PS prompts when a PS controller is connected because Arkane included PS controller support.

If a game has native (ie. built-in) support for Dualshock, then Steam has nothing to do with the bindings. Steam Input for that game must be completely disabled otherwise the game will think you are using an Xbox controller and show Xbox glyphs.

Some games only *natively* support Dualshock controllers when plugged in with a usb cable.

Disabling Steam Input support completely for PS controllers by setting it to Not Enabled in the controller settings does absolutely nothing. Steam still overrides the PS button + joystick combination to move the mouse and change system volume whenever I have it running. Even using HIDhide won't prevent Steam from overriding PS controller support and making every game see it as an Xbox controller.

It's extremely frustrating, as I prefer using DS4Windows instead, which lets me map my DS5 controllers as a DS4 (and not X360 at least), but it keeps clashing with Steam whenever it's running.

I don't understand how after all these years since Steam input was implemented it's so difficult to have functional way of disabling it altogether for people who wish to utilise the game's native controller support.

I'm afraid to tamper with the settings since those "layouts" were introduced last year. Initially it was hellish trying to work with those and a DS controller where the game natively supported DS.

I can't remember what I did, but I've definitely got Steam Input disabled globally, although I also manually disable it via the properties of every individual game I install.
