Question Adding generic Gamepad support

I recently started learning Unity and I've been using the Input System 1.4.4. I added proper Gamepad inputs in the Input Action Asset. After some time not being able to get my controller to work, I found this topic https://forum.unity.com/threads/con...ystick-for-input-logitech-dual-action.879454/.

That's when it finally clicked that my controller was being recognized as a Joystick, not a Gamepad.

The only way to get it working was to manually listen to the input and press the buttons, like the person on that topic. Then it worked.



Questions:

1) I assume "button2" will only work for this specific Gamepad, not any Gamepad in which the south button is recognized as "button2" in Windows/Unity, correct?

2) Does this mean that the only way to add support to a big variety of Gamepads (that aren't just the mainstream ones) I would have to actually buy a bunch of them and add support manually/purchase an Addon like ReWire?

Cheers
