DS4 Controller problems after InputMapper

[cherry.]

So steam would detect my PS4 controller flawlessly, no need for any Third-Party Program, but after some non-steam games didn't detect the controller for no apparent reason, I installed InputMapper so i could actually use it. However, after installing InputMapper, Steam (nor Windows) won't detect the PS4 controller as a PS4 controller, rather than a Wireless Controller that A) Doesn't get picked up by Steam and B) Isn't usable in windows

How do i fix this? It's been pissing me off for like a day now

Thanks in advance

disable inputmapper then unistall your controller in device manager then go use other program like DS4Windows

Use Ds4windows. Has an exclusive mode that hides ds4 controller from other applications. Make sure Steam isnt running while you set up ds4windows. Check the hide ds4 option. Once ds4 is running and your controller is connected load up Steam or other game services.

I have problem with my ds4.

I was using ds4 controller wireless with ds4windows fine for like a year with all steam games, never configured anything controller related inside steam as everything was working great with ds4windows. Since last 2days when i have steam turned on my d-pad buttons are not working, right stick is messed up, R1 button makes my mouse pointer move left and press right mouse button, opens up tabs in big picture mode, sometimes it makes my mouse stick to left side of screen till I force close steam or turn off my ds4. I have tried to turn off, unbind everything in steam controller options but not fixed anything.

I had steam beta turned on earlier, tried turning it off but opting out didn't fix it, only turning off steam makes it work normally. Tried to opt in beta again, update and still the same .... So well, can't use a controller now with any steam game .....

Toggle controller support in Steam settings

Steam > Settings > Controller > General controller settings

With Steam closed load DS4windows. Under settings make sure Hide DS4 Controller is checked. load Steam andsee if that helps.
