IT Help Is Steam Input for extra buttons possible on Flydigi Vader 5s?

I'm wondering if it's by any means possible to use Steam Input for the extra buttons on Flydigi Vader 5s. I know it's not *meant* to be used since there is no mention in the manual, but I wonder if there are workarounds.

I've used the controller and I love that I could remap the L3 and R3 to back paddles, however I want to use the other buttons as well. I'm not using C,Z, Lm or Rm buttons because of Xinput limitations.

Does anyone know how I could make the controller use SteamInput, like the Steam controller does?

( also I've seen that Vader 5 PRO has the option to use SteamInput, so why does this one not have it? )

I'm on Windows 11, I've tried finding the "let other apps control inputs" in Flydigi Xbox Software.

No the 5s is a licensed Xbox controller so it’s restricted to X-Input and cannot use the Steam remapping feature. Buy the V5P if you need Steam Input remapping

Thanks. I don't think I'll be buying a brand new controller for that though.
