Having the same problem as you guys. I use Xpadder with a playstation navi/mouse hybrid set up that I created almost specifically with "immersive sims" in mind. For the last 5 hours I've been trying to find the game.setting ini or the config file to disable or bypass auto controller recognition. I've tried running xpadder in admin, using joy2key, using steam controller to set up my navi, using xpadder and ds4 together, opening xpadder in admin then opening cyberpunk to give correct priority, nothing. CP2077 takes priority and just wont recognize my navi. It doesn't conflict and switch between pc keybinds and ds4 controls, it just doesn't recognize it at all which is even weirder.
my ps4 controller has analog drift on the right analog stick so I can't even use it as a horrible backup!
