Describe the bug
DS4Windows does not recognize the 8BitDo Pro 3 in DInput mode.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Set an 8BitDo Pro 3 to DInput mode (by setting the switch on the back to the middle position, under the 'D')
Connect it to a Windows 11 PC over bluetooth and/or a wired connection
Open DS4Windows
Expected behavior
DS4Windows should show that there is one DInput controller connected
Screenshots and Logs
With controller connected over USB cable:
With controller connected over bluetooth:
I think the log is as expected considering DS4Windows doesn't detect a controller ds4windows_log.txt
Desktop:
Controller Make and Model: 8BitDo Pro 3 Bluetooth Gamepad, Model 80GQ
OS: Windows 11 Home 25H2
DS4Windows Version: 3.9.9 (issue is also present on 3.3.3)
Additional context https://ds4-windows.com/supported-controllers/ states that DS4 needs to know the controller's VID/PID to work, which it definitely doesn't know as the latest release was months before the Pro 3's launch. The controller does work in Switch mode (when it calls itself 'Pro Controller') but I'm hoping to get the analog triggers working, for which I need DInput.
