Hello @TheAnonym3000, we're using one issue report per unofficially supported game title, so I've gone ahead and transferred this issue report to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8671#issuecomment-3729037068.

Anyone actually found a solution for the side panel working incorrectly yet

MMoriTanosuke 2026-07-01 github

I just now stumbled upon the same behavior on Linux Mint 22.3 with my Logitech Heavy Equipment Bundle. The wheel and pedals works fine and is recognized in the game. The side panel is recognized as XINPUT_GAMEPAD and only half the buttons work and are just mapped to gamepad buttons which breaks a lot of functionality in the game. I'm watching #8671 but it looks like no progress was made yet.
