Steam Input and Button Icons

It's very frustrating that when you enable steam input, the game thinks you're using an Xbox controller by default and changes the button icons accordingly. This really sucks because I use a Dualsense controller but like to map the media button so I can use it to take screenshots and record gameplay. It's not world-ending, but its a slight quality-of-life issue for me. Monster Hunter Rise lets you change the button icons manually and it works fantastically, but Veilguard doesn't give you the option to override the controller detection.

    As you probably noticed, turning off Steam Input seems to work fine - game plays great with Dualsense icons are correct. I suspect the fault is Steam's, and not Veilguard's, since it natively maps the controller properly.

    Obviously that means you can't remap the buttons for screenshots and video, but I feel like I'm already using all the buttons on the controller just to play the game!

    I use the keyboard for grabs, which is super easy now that Steam has added automatic recording. It just records the game as you play and if you want to save a clip of the last x second/minutes, you can pause the game and hit the keyboard shortcut to save the clip.

    That won't work for your requirements?

      Your don't seem to understand the spirit of my complaint. I've already been using my keyboard to handle media capture, I just would like to have the option to use my control to do it as well. That extra layer of friction of having to set the controller down and reach over to my keyboard is a mild annoyance. My controller already has a dedicated media button, though, and I would like to use it the way I've used it in other games. Will I survive? Yes. Would I still like to see it changed? Also yes.
