[SUGGESTION] Toggleable controller glyphs
I get why Xinput glyphs (buttons, prompts) are the de facto standard in PC games, but it would be great if a simple option toggle could be added to swap between Xinput/DualShock/Nintendo for those that use controllers that rely on those glyphs.

Yes, I am aware that the game has device auto-sensing. However, thanks to the fact that driver support for anything that's not an Xbox controller is spotty at best, some devices can get stuck with an Xinput-emulating set and will permanently be detected as an Xinput controller. An option to force a specific set would be an extremely welcome QoL improvement.

Today I tried to play with Dualsense, and unfortunately the game shows the layout of the Xbox gamepad, because of this it is very difficult to control the character.

If you're using Steam and Steam Input this is normal. Every "generic" gamepad is detected as standard xinput device.

//Don't understand how it make controlling more difficult in any way? It's not like you don't remember which button youassigned to each action. It's only a visual quirk really.

And I'll never understand why people will come into a benign suggestion thread and try to shut it down. The game supports the proper glyphs, but they will not display under certain, common situations. Why is it so hard to believe that someone would want their assigned Triangle button to properly show up as Triangle in-game?

Who's shutting it down? I'm just saying why game is behaving that way. That's it.

I want such a feature as well. Was somehow trying to sort it out, looking at game files, configs for hours, no luck. Looks like the only way at the moment is to launch the game without support of Steam Input.

With this comment, it felt like you were:

My apologies if that wasn't the case.
