Xbox button mapping • Link

Steam Input • Link

Because of Xbox controller support being implemented in DirectInput, Xbox One/Series controllers and certain nonstandard Xbox 360 controllers have controls mapped to different buttons than what is indicated by the game (e.g., Start is mapped to R3).

Load Steam Input profile with controller fix
Open up the Steam Input settings for the game and if not already enabled, turn on Steam Input for the game. Open the Controller Configurator for the game and click on the button displaying the current controller layout profile. In the Load New Layout menu, search for Dead or Alive 5 Last Round の公式設定 (RStick fix) and apply the layout. Close the Controller Configurator.
