Steering button mapping

Looks like PS5 for next gen then as there’s still no answers on this.

Not all steering wheel setups is compatible with Xbox. That might be the issue that you are experiencing.

It’s not that the wheel is not compatable, it very much is and is recognised by the console, this is a well known issue with pretty much every wheel available, the more available buttons on the wheel the worse the issue as Microsoft only allow the standard
controller buttons to be mapped (A, B, X, Y, RB, LB etc..) so where you have a wheel with more buttons and dials (like a high end Fanatec) they are rendered useless.

I’ve been an Xbox supporter since day one but now I’m getting more and more in to sim racing this is a deal breaker, if it’s not going to be sorted I’ll move to the dark side where I can use my equipment properly.

Hi thanks for the response. I tried the accessories app but it does not detect my Wheel when it loads it's just blank.

What wheel is it? The manufacturer might have their own software to map the buttons?

I just reviewed the Xbox Accessories app and realize that it only does official controllers or via the Xbox Adaptive Controller for the app to do what it does. Because of that, I would recommend you take a look at if there is any software from the manufacturer
that you can use to map and configure, and possibly update on the firmware to do what you want it to do?

Can we approach this from the other side? Can you identify any wheel or any software which will map steering wheel buttons beyond those found on an XBOX controller?

I've also been frustrated by the fact that I can't access any additional functionality from the extra buttons on my Thrustmaster TX 458 Italia, and I've read the same thing about Logitech wheels. So if users from all three main sim wheel manufacturers are
struggling with this, rather than compiling a list of all of the wheels we own where we haven't found a way to do it, can you provide some direction for how we can?
