    Windows installs wrong driver for a generic Bluetooth Gamepad


    -Update-
    Ok apparently there is a chinese company called Saitake that keeps developing bluetooth gamepads for android devices in all shapes and sizes that you can even get to customize colors / brand name / even form of gamepad upon an order of 15 pieces , sadly they do not have an official website nor ever released a windows driver , Microsoft however decided to nag the company back by keeping a trend of installing an odd generic driver that is 15 / 18 / 20 / 25 buttons per whichever model despite most are 12 buttons , now the requirement should be if anyone came across and/or better made a driver that acts on just those 12 buttons in the right way and order ?

    -Original Post-
    I have decided to pair my generic 12 buttons android gampad with windows for a player 2 usage on some games , and like always windows show some love by installing a 15 buttons gamepad generic driver for it , now this would have been nice if only the last 3 buttons were useless but however it decided to pick 2 of the main buttons to make useless (Y,B they got assigned to be buttons 7 and 9 or so) and make the right rocker axis shifted 90 degrees .

    So why i use the term generic is simply because despite the cool packaging and looks the gamepad is one of those chinese white box pads (they print ATick on this baby for a brand) with no official support online . so my best shot is yet to install the generic windows 12 buttons driver for it so , any idea how to do that ?

    P.S the gamepad works perfectly on android phones with 3 modes : gamepad , mouse , I (Whatever that I does)

    nope this is not it , the problem is that windows installed an incompatible driver which messes with how the device operate , i need a different driver dedicated for 12 buttons gamepads not 15

    Press the Win Key+X and choose Device Manager, find your controller, and Right click it and choose Properties/Driver/Roll Back Driver to a driver that was working. If that is not available, uninstall it and install the proper driver.

    there is no earlier driver nor there is an official driver , i was counting on someone either suggesting a driver that might work out of his experience or guide me on how to force install microsoft's generic 12 buttons gamepad driver instead of this 15 button one .

    P.S I know windows has a driver catalog one can use to download drivers directly just not sure how to use it mind you if that's the right approach and not a registry tweak or so
