I have also noticed this behavior with the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller (connected via Bluetooth, no other applications running that are taking control of the controller) where the D-Pad is not recognized.

The user agent is not the one in the original comment. It is actually

Cannot test this at present without the hardware needed, but setting component as such. Please correct if this isn't the right component. Thanks.
