Description

I'm having a frustrating time with mapping controls onto a standard PS4 controller. Essentially it comes down to a conflict between the D Pad and the Right Analog stick (everything else is fine). Ideally what I am looking to achieve is the following: I would like C Buttons mapped to the right analog, and the 'D Pad' to attached to, well, the D Pad.

As it stands, the 'C Buttons' are mapped to the D Pad and the Right Analog stick, Less the 'C UP' on the Analog.

When I try to configure the input in the settings, it simply will not allow me to allocate C buttons to the right analog. It wouldn't be too bad loosing D Pad control and only have the C Buttons on the Right Stick, if only the C UP was present but I cannot get that to be read for some reason.

Any tips? If anyone has a config file I can paste that would be most helpful. Thanks!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the mapping in the settings with a standard PS4 controller, focusing on the D Pad and right analog inputs. Review the controller configuration path and any config-file handling mentioned in the report; done means C Buttons map to the right analog, the D Pad remains available, and C UP is recognized.
