Left analog stick not working on PS4/Switch gamepads

[Celerii]

I do not know if others have the same problem, but in my DOS games the left analog stick of my gamepads (one Dualshock 4 and a Switch Pro Controller) can never be detected. The d-pad, however, is detected as the main source for joystick directions, but only in binary...

The right analog sticks seems to work properly: for example in Need For Speed 1, both axes are detected as analog pedals without problems.

I have this problems both on intel and M1 macs. All DOS games compatible with analog joysticks I have are affected. I have tested the other joystick modes available in the settings, but it remains the same.

Anyone has an idea?

Thanks in advance!
