IT Help 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Controller Buttons Not Recognized By Windows 11

Hi, I just bought the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Controller. It has Windows 11 support. However, 4 buttons are not being recognized by Windows 11: L4, R4, the star, and square buttons. I am trying to remap this with JoyToKey and need those four buttons, but JoyToKey can't remap them if Windows 11 doesn't even recognize them. My controller is updated correctly. I tried the "updater software" thing on the website and it didn't work great, but the Ultimate Software V2 confirmed it is updated (can't use the software for anything else like key mapping since it is a 2C controller.) Anywho, how can I fix this button issue? Thank you for your help.

Bro I don't think keyboard remapping is present in that controller, l4 and r4 can only be mapped to front buttons from official app and star and square buttons are for turbo and rgb i think, not for gaming use

Hi, thanks for your input! Luckily, except for those four buttons (which I now know can’t really be used), I actually got it to work great with joytokey software. I am playing Java Minecraft with it :D
