Instinct Controller: Let Windows 10/11 recognize the extra paddle buttons as real buttons (leading to support for remapping software like reWASD)

Hello,

the one thing keeping me from buying an Instinct Controller is the lack of option to map the paddle buttons on the rear to any action I like in Windows as they aren't recognized by Windows 10/11 as a regular key.

One big advantage of having additional buttons is to map them with actions I can't already run by buttons already on the controller ;-)

If these buttons would be recognized by Windows we could use software like reWASD to run extremely useful functions making the PC more comfortable like we have that with consoles but keeping the advantages of the pc platform though.

Examples might be:

• running steam
• simulate a keyboard key which runs an action not supported by gamepads in the game but beykoards (like quicksave or quickload)
• mute the PC
• ...

I assume it's a technical limitation or the lack of your own software. Or might it be possible in future controllers?

Thanks in advance!

Bye
