It's just that it functions, is supposed to function, as a standard gamepad. It's supposed to be mappable, and if it were a problem with just a few buttons not working, that'd make sense. However, it's more that some games see some buttons and not others, and other games see buttons that the first games didn't, while not seeing some that they did. It's like the game doesn't ... like the controller. Which is weird.
