Maybe get autohotkey, open it with some empty/tutorial script go to key history and it should list what is being pressed... should as i've never has this issue without controller enabled (and boy its annoying when games think sim hardware is a pad and there is no way to tell them not to scroll/rotate stuff without messing in device manager smh).

if not autohotkey, there are other programs that can show inputs live or log them, just gotta google around.

Yes. Thank you! I found out the the 'controller' setting is a togglable 'on/off' option. Whereas it first seemed to be related to two other options as the three settings together looked like an 'either-or' set of options. I tapped the circle next to 'controller enabled' a couple times before noticing that it would show a blue dot next to it and then it wouldn't after tapping again. Their GUI in the settings menu needs a rework. Regardless, this did work. Thank you.
