Virtual Controller
I'm a disabled veteran that lost use of my right arm. I use JoyToKey virtual controller to bind my movement keys on my keyboard to my Thrustmaster TPR rudder pedal for my flight sim. I play COD, Brok...

I am having a similar issue. I use a custom controller (a "Dragonrise Inc. Generic USB Joystick" according to Steam and Windows) designed to use my feet for WASD. I use joy2key to translate the controller input to WASD so it is useable for games. Without it, BF6 doesn't detect the controller at all (but it detects other controllers when they are plugged in). There is no way I can play without this controller working.
I was able to find a solution for this by using Steam Input to recognize and translate my controller to the correct inputs instead of Joy2Key. This works even for games outside of Steam (like BF6!)
This discussion helped me set up the controller in steam:

The two main settings to make sure are set once your controller is recognized are "Enable Steam Input for Generic Controllers" (Set ON) and "Turn off controllers when exiting Steam Big Picture Mode" (Set OFF).
This may help if Steam fails to detect your controller: https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/3421063428075631232
