FAQ:
The controller does not work, and its name appears in orange, what can I do?
Orange controller names indicate a missing controller mapping.
Download GamepadTool, create and copy a mapping, go to MidnightControls' Mappings File Editor and paste the string.
Alternatively, you can use AntiMicroX to create the mappings, in case the Gamepad Tool is not working for you.
If that works, you might as well consider submitting the mapping by opening a PR in this repo: https://github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB
That will make sure other people using the same controller as you don't have to use gamepad-tool anymore.
