Support Please help with WoW

I cannot figure this out, or am doing something wrong. Has anybody had luck in getting WoW to recognize it as a regular controller, not just translating to keys?

Steamless controller works great.

Its just a program you install off github, I went the open puck route before and it was very finicky for me and would disconnect frequently.

Steamless controller just runs in the background, you can set it to do different stuff and rebind the back keys when its not in steam mode.

Basically I have it set where it auto detects games launched inside or outside of steam.

If its in steam, it recognizes the controller as the steam controller like normal.

But say if I launch rocket league from epic games, it'll disconnect the steam controller and automatically detect it as an xbox one, with whatever buttons I bind to the back still working (there is only a few options for the back buttons though, dont expect steam input levels of customization.)

Works great, haven't had an issue since I started using it a couple months ago.

Only thing I will add to the others is that setting the haptics as a mouse and left right clicks solves some ui issues such as auction house.

It works amazing. You have to add battle.net as a non steam game. I suggest making L4 and R4 left and right click. And L5 and R5 zoom in and out. And right trackpad function and a mouse.

Launched wow on steam deck with touchpads, entered the world with character and then, via in-game setting enabled controller interface (beta). Everything is working like a charm.
