I have an issue using my playstation 2 controller on PC. The controller works completely fine, and so does the adapter. In fact, when I go to control panel > devices, it clearly shows the controller is connected, and shows every button I press. Everything works great, but when I try to play a game, like Overwatch or cuphead (that dont require adding any additional files) or any game at all, the controller doesnt work in game. In cuphead, it shows a controller is connected, and adds player 2 to the map, but the game does not reapond to any button pressed on the controller. What can cause EVERY single game I've tried to not recognize my moves while the control panel does?
Thanks for helping :D

PS, This may not be the best category to post this in, but i coulnt find anything more suitable than this. Sorry if I missed anything.

I'd also like to add that I could make the controller work on other games like Rocket League by using a program that binds controller buttons to keyboard ones, but this isnt an option here, since what I want to do is play cuphead with a friend, one on the keyboard and one on the controller, as its not possible to have both using the keybaord.
