Optical Analog switches and games

I've just purchased a Huntsman V3 Pro TKL and finished setting it up (I think). Both the Windows joystick Control Panel and Synapse show the analog input working fine on the controller simulator. But I have tried using it on 3 different games so far and had 3 completely different non-working results.

Destiny 2 will simply not work. I tried with and without Steam's joystick emulator and neither works.

On Darktide, the WASD controls work fine, but as soon as I press any of those 4 buttons my mouse stops working, and as soon as I stop pressing any of them my mouse works again. It's as if the game would only accept input from either the controller or keyboard+mouse, so I am inclined to think this is the game's limitation, maybe?

On Space Marine 2 it is almost the opposite of Darktide. Both the WASD and my mouse work at the same time, but while I am pressing any of the WASD keys my mouse sensitivity goes bananas, meaning it goes too high. So a slight flick of the mouse and I am either looking at the ceiling or the floor or turning 180º. As soon as I stop pressing any of the WASD keys, my mouse sensitivity goes back to normal.

Have you guys made these analog inputs work on your games? Would anyone have any tips for me, please? Thank you!

    This sounds like the games switching input modes when they detect analog movement.
    Many games don’t handle keyboard, mouse, and analog input at the same time very well.
    When analog is active, the game may treat it like a controller and change how mouse input works.
    There may not be a fix unless the game has an option to lock input to keyboard and mouse only.
    Disabling analog movement for those games is usually the simplest workaround.

    Learning, gaming, and improving setup one step at a time.
