Huntsman V2 Analoge and Xbox Elite 2 controller

Hi, revceived my Huntsman V2 yesterday and when I launch hitman 2 my Xbox Elite 2 controller isnt recognised. It sees that a controller is plugged in and says press "A" to start but the controller is unresponsive.

I have tried to disable Synapse 3 etc but the only thing that works is unplugging the keyboard. Its not a USB power issue etc and have tried the controller both wired and wireless without luck.

Other games, so far, have been fine.

Anyone else experiencing this or have a fix?

Edit 1:
Also PC Xbox games arent recognising it as an Xbox controller, just a generic device. Again unplugging the keyboard fixes this.

Edit 2:
So i managed to fix it by chganging the steam launch options. So basically this keyboard is somehow stopping my controller being recognised as an Xbox Elite. If support dont have an answer/fix on this issue then i will just return for a refund.

Edit 3:
Bethsda launched games also dont work however there is no way to change the settings

The HID drivers for both the keyboard and the controller may have an overlap of sorts. Have you tried reinstalling the keyboard drivers? I highly recommend that you do so, then go to Windows Update>View Optional Updates>Drivers and install all related drivers.
I've been having this issue ever since I changed my keyboard to the Analog v2. Controller was only working for certain games and I had no idea what was causing it! Black Ops Cold War controller inputs were fine, but Warzone's weren't? I even completely reinstalled Windows on my Razer Blade Stealth and it still was the same. I just built my first desktop PC and the problem still persisted which I thought was unreal. Almost decided to try and RMA my controller. Not sure if you were able to get it working yourself, but I found a workaround. Not sure if this will disable the analog key functionality since I don't really use it anyways.

Go into Device Manager and scroll down to Xbox 360 Peripherals. Right-click on Xbox 360 Controller for Windows and hit Disable device. It should prompt you to restart your computer and done.

Let me know if this works for you. Hopefully, this'll help those with the same issue.
