    Recognizes only up to 4 gamepads on windows.
    InputSystem.onDeviceChange is not called when the fifth Gamepad is connected, and only four Gamepads are registered in InputSystem.devices.
    For example, a keyboard is recognized as the fifth device.
    I am on Windows 10, InputSystem1.3.0, Unity2020.3 and it is recognized in the device list on windows.
    Does anyone have a cause in mind?

    This is a limitation on the Windows backend we use (the old XInput). We are currently investigating switching to Windoes.Gaming.Input for that very reason. But no timeline yet for this, sorry.

    Thank you.
    I dream of the day when 8 controllers are connected by Input System.
