After unearthing a strange artifact known as the Marker, Isaac. The Ishimura was a Planetcracker-class starship besieged by grotesque reanimations of its dead crew, known as Necromorphs. I hope this helps someone with the same problem because suffer this problem and find no support it's very a frustating thing. In Dead Space 2, you join Isaac Clarke, the Systems Engineer from Dead Space, as he wakes up three years after the horrific events on the USG Ishimura.

My solution here worked for my xbox 360 controller and steam controller (it don't worked too). I don't understand why the developers or someone else put those files in a fresh install, it's a crazy thing. I think that those files overwritte the default game controller mapping, and deleting them caused to get the default hardcoded config upfront and work ok. Well, you have to rename or delete them and start the game and the buttons issue has to get fixed. In the game directory there are two files named joypad.txt and joypad_example.txt. So I started to try to fix the problem by myself and after some time I discovered some files that caused the problem in my fresh install of the game. I had this same problem of the buttons and I got here searching in steam but I became dissapointed because the responses here, or in any other similar thread, were very poor and helpless. To get connected, open the 'Bluetooth & other devices' menu in Windows by pressing the Windows key and typing 'Bluetooth.' Then click 'Add Bluetooth or other device' and the first item on the next.

Although this thread is old and maybe you, REALVANILLARAIN, found some solution or forgot this problem at all, I want to share my solution here for you or anyone more with this problem.
