I have 4 physical controller devices: a Logitech X56 throttle and stick, a 3DConnexion Spacemouse, and Thrustmaster TPR pedals.  I also have a software controller remapper, Tetherscript.  These hardware and software devices have 6 or more software controllers: Spacenavigator for notebooks (the spacemouse), Tetherscript Virtual Joystick, Saitek Pro Flight X-56 Rhino stick, 3DConnexion KMJ emulator (the spacemouse again)... and at least two other devices which Star Wars Squadrons is not showing me, presumably the Saitek Pro Flight X-56 Rhino throttle, and the Thrustmaster TPR pedals.

I would like Star Wars Squadrons to show options to use all available controllers, and not give me the option to select only from the first four controllers it enumerates.

It isn't a problem that I can only map four separate controllers, the problem is that I am not given the option to map any controller other than one of the first four available of my 6 or more.

If I have one, four, six or a hundred controller devices on my PC, Star Wars Squadrons should give me the option to map any of them to the four controller bindings that SWS can listen to at once.
