    Hi! Good day , Jerry here, an independent advisor. Here to help you.

    Unfortunately, XInput ONLY supports the Xbox controllers (Xbox 360 and probably Xbox One as well). That being said it cannot be removed. What you could try is to use 3rd party application such as x360ce to re mapped the controller then thru this application you should be able to use your new controller on those games that you want to play.

    Again please note that x360ce is a 3RD PARTY application. Also if you would need some guide on how to set it up you could search it on youtube there are a lot of tutorials about this application.

    If you have any additional questions please don't hesitate.
