ArduinoXInput VS DS4Windows

I am currently trying to create a controller for windows that shows up as an Xbox 360 controller or some other game compliant HID controller. I initially tried following this tutorial, however, the code provided does not work for my purpose because it includes all the buttons of a normal controller whereas I just need a joystick input, and one button. Can someone help me write code using the ArduinoXinput that programs 1 joystick and 1 button input on the Arduino Pro micro?

There are arduino libraries that’ll work with boards like the teensy and pro nano - https://github.com/dmadison/ArduinoXInput

I would of thought xinput would work on Steam? Pretty sure my 8bit duo uses xinput

I ended up purchasing some Arduini clones on Amazon and losing this: https://github.com/dmadison/ArduinoXInput

define "profile" a set of associations from digital/analog pins to logical joystick button, joystick axis (both traditional and xinput, I saw there's a library to support that https://github.com/dmadison/ArduinoXInput), keyboard button, mouse button, mouse movement identifiers.

Did you follow all the instructions to use this library, found here?

Well a simple option would to use a library that makes a arduino act like xbox 360 controller. Like This One and use the map function in the coding to spread out the pots signals accordingly

There is a software for using PS5 controllers on Windows called DS4Windows (link: https://ds4-windows.com/) I recently used this to play cyberpunk with PS5 controller without issues.

Now the most important part of the aim is the feeling. This is the Aim Response Curve. To able to match this, we'll need to install DS4Windows. This program will generate a virtual controller. I downloaded from here: https://ds4-windows.com/.

If your gamepad is not supported by our service, you can try to install DS4Windows. Its function is to “trick” the PC into recognizing any controller as if it were an Xbox 360 or DualShock 4, which in turn might allow you to use it on Boosteroid. Please note: we do not guarantee that this method will work. We are not responsible for the possible consequences, you do it at your own risk.

Este es el programa

use DS4, its a controller emulator that helps with stuff like that, don't really know how to explain it but with it i can use my ps5 controller for salt and sacrifice on pc instead https://ds4-windows.com

From what I see online, it only officially supports PS3+PS4, and not PC. You might be able to get it to work using https://ds4-windows.com/ .
