Advice Can anyone help?

Firstly the ultimate plan is amazing and can run anything maxed out on my M2 pro MacBook. Loving it.

Only problem is I use a ps5 controller and it’s always showing the Xbox buttons. I’ve tried everything. Steam games that run via Mac directly are fine and show correctly, but every game in GeForceNOW stuck on Xbox and registers as Xinput every time and no matter whether plugged in or Bluetooth and it’s doing my head in.

It's supposed to show that for games not on the list in the link, you can try adding GFN as a non-steam game but that's normal, the list might be out of date by a few games but it's pretty accurate

The game isn't running on your computer so it's not the same thing, saying it works fine when your controller connects to your machine because your controller isn't connected to the machine running the game, it's actually a virtual machine running in a remote data center while your controller and app are in a totally different location so programming wise it's a little different, maybe security wise as well but anyways that's how it works currently

You can put in feedback asking for it to be improved but it's running how it's supposed to run so it's working normally for games not on that list
