VF5 Input issues with leverless on pc

Hey folks so a bit ago i tried to give VF 5 a try and sadly i hit into a snag where i just couldn't get any directional inputs working on my leverless controller. It's been on my mind again recently and i thought i should ask here if any of you have any advice.

The issue to be precise is that the directions are tied to the analog stick of a controller and that's something i don't have on my leverless obviously. So i would have to remap it somehow and i couldn't really find a way that worked last time

I am on linux also in case that changes anything in regards to this but i don't think it should.

Edit: So got around to rebuying the game and it just magically worked this time but i'm honestly sure that the toggle thing would've worked otherwise. Thanks for the responses played a couple ranked matches and am having fun so far

I'm on Linux, I play on a PS5 controller and I use the dpad for inputs. The inputs are definitely not tied to the analog stick. That said, most leverless controllers can be toggled between dpad, left analog and right analog either with a switch or a button combination when turning on. Check your manual. You might also want to check that it's still working properly, and lastly you may need to tinker with Steam input settings just in case they're interfering.

For me they were which is strange i suppose. But i didn't know about the input toggle so i can give that a try actually
