What other controllers? No other controllers expose back buttons as individually assignable buttons that I’m aware of except Steam Deck and Steam Controller since those use Steam’s own interface instead of xinput or dinput
I use a Dual Sense Edge controller with steam and it lets me remap the two back buttons, the two front function buttons, and even the microphone button, to anything I want.
Well, while this controller doesn’t have Hall-effect sensors (which would be ideal), it does have the sticks as separate, inexpensive, easy to replace modules. They can be popped out and replaced without tools.
That’s neat, but if they’re still prone to stick drift and if they aren’t free replacements (looks like $20 apiece, that’s a bit insane) then that doesn’t really improve the situation
I’ve been trying to figure out if there is a way to do it with the new 8BitDo Ultimate controller but I don’t know that it’s possible. I’ve seen maybe you can switch it to direct input mode somehow to map the paddles but I hadn’t had any success.

Oh that’s good to know! If I didn’t have to worry about stick drift I might consider the Dualsense Edge
