Worth mentioning that I have tested the control with another emulator and it’s working just fine and also tested it with the Citra version of Windows and it is also working. Just in my Xiaomi phone the Emulator is not recognizing the D-Pad, Circle Pad and C-stick

I have experiment the same problem, I have been using a xbox one controller to play citra but now the app don’t recognize de D-Pad, circle pad and the Z triggers

Noticing this is the snapdragon 865, like my S20, I wondered if this could be an Android 11 issue instead of a Citra issue, and sure enough: https://9to5google.com/2021/01/18/android-11-game-controller-issue/

Shutting off my button remapper in accesibilities services solved the issue for me. Analog sticks, D-pad, and triggers were recognized afterwards.

I have to turn off one configuration in accessibility
Hope that also works for you, I’m not able to post more than 3 images and not more than 3 times, in last screen you have to enter to configuration and turn off “automatic selection”

Have forgotten to mention but in this section you have to turn on and then off the improved accessibility!

Hey thanks for the response, I did what you suggested and I’m still unable to configure the sticks or D pad. Below an screenshot, not sure if that was the settings that I needed to turn off

Forgot to mention that I’ve tested the control with Citra in a Windows PC and it is running just fine, also tested it with another emulator and it worked
