How do I set up trigger sensitivity using SteamInput?
Hey folks. So I have an 8BitDo controller that I use for gaming on PC and said controller has two different modes, a XInput mode and a Switch mode. Recently I've been using the Switch mode because its the only one that has access to gyro (which I very much enjoy for aiming), meaning that in order for it to work with Steam games, I need to set it up through SteamInput.

The problem with that is that it seems that when doing so, the games don't recognize the pressure sensitivity of the triggers (for example, when playing GTA, I can't move slowly with a vehicle because even a light press on the triggers is translated as a full press of a regular XInput controller). And yes, my controller does have analogue triggers, they work normally in XInput mode. And also, yes, the pressure sensitivity is also configured correctly in the controller's software for the Switch mode.

How do I make it so that the SteamInput setup recognizes the triggers and it would normally on XInput mode? I tried configuring the "Light press" on the SteamInput interface to act as the respective trigger as well but that doesn't seem to do anything. If there's a video tutorial out there, I'd love that as well. Thanks in advance.
