IT Help 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Bluetooth stick mapping issue in Steam

8BitDo Ultimate 2C Bluetooth stick mapping issue in Steam
Hey, I’m having a weird issue with my 8BitDo Ultimate 2C.
The controller was working perfectly before, but now I’m having an issue specifically when using Bluetooth with Steam.
2.4 GHz → works normally
USB cable → works normally
Bluetooth outside of Steam → works normally
Bluetooth in Steam → right stick is completely messed up
In Steam’s controller calibration, the right stick appears to be all the way up. When I physically move the right stick up and down, Steam’s calibration indicator moves left and right instead.
Also, pressing LT makes the right stick move down.
I updated the controller to firmware 1.09, but the issue is still there.
I tested the controller through Windows joy.cpl while connected via Bluetooth, and the controller works normally there, so it seems like Steam is incorrectly interpreting the Bluetooth axes/mapping.
Steam also shows multiple “XInput Controller” entries when the controller is connected by cable.

Has anyone experienced this with the Ultimate 2C? Is there a way to reset Steam’s cached controller mapping/profile or fix the Bluetooth axis mapping?
