[BUG] Gamesir T4 Pro functionality broken in 7.1

[gamdud]

First of all, thanks for all the work on BetterJoy! Wonderful tool, working quite well even with third party controllers.

Describe the bug

• The left and right sticks are now "centered" in the upper right corner. Tried following the hint in the changelog for 7.0-release to look in the issues tab for guidance on how to manually calibrate sticks but couldn't find it in the opened or closed issues.
• Setting <add key="GyroToJoyOrMouse" value="mouse"/> does nothing, but Left stick (L3) still centers the gyro-mouse per default binds. Gyro tested on both toggle- or hold-settings.

Expected behavior

• Left and right sticks used to be "centered" in their 0,0 positions instead of 1,1 positions. Don't really understand how to make sense of the stick calibration configs
• GamesirT4 Pro used to work excellently on BetterJoy 6.4 when "UseHIDG" and "nonOriginalController" both were ticked. According to this issue.
• Gyro-mouse used to work decently in BetterJoy 6.4 with betterjoy gyro-mouse sensitivity set to 50

Controller (please complete the following information):

• Gamesir T4 Pro
• BT, Switch Pro mode
• Windows 10

Same problem here, used to work with 6.4

Thanks for the great program

So, it seems I managed to set up our gamepad to work with version 7.1 of the program. The solution turned out to be extremely simple. After reinstalling the drivers and HIDGuardian, you need to go to the "add controller" menu, add our controllers and specify the controller type in the drop-down tab:

Moreover, this operation must be done with all connected controllers (I have 4 of them). Ultimately it should be like this:

After that, it is advisable to disable the controllers, restart the program and enable the controllers. After they connect to the computer and are determined by the program, everything should work as it should. Actually everything. The sticks are centered as they should be.

Please check for yourself. If everything worked out, it might be worth adding this information to the wiki. P.S. in version 6.4, the controller was detected normally, regardless of the choice in the "add controller" menu. Therefore, there is a possibility that at some point this setting item was neglected.

@cynodesmus Thank you My controllers are detected automatically, but won't work. I had to:

1. Disable (untick) Passive Scan
2. Turn off the controllers (so they will disconnect from betterjoy).
3. Enable (tick) PurgeAffectedDevices (I'm not sure if it's necessary)
4. Turn the controllers back on and add them one by one (as in https://github.com/Davidobot/BetterJoy/issues/896#issuecomment-1016340299).
5. Disable PurgeAffectedDevices
6. Enable Passive Scan and click Apply. now they all work just fine. Except from certain cases you don't need HIDGuardian (I don't have it installed).
