Hello,
I have an Apple TV 4k, model A2169, running tvOS 27. I do play games on Apple TV using RetroArch. The controller I purchased several years ago has died from physical stress. It was a Steel Series Nimbus + controller. I had Nimbus + controller paired to my Apple TV. After it paired, the software to customize the button layout etc was put on my Apple TV. After purchasing a new controller (8BitDo Pro 3), when pairing, the Apple TV I saw the new controller (Pro Controller) and I figured all is well.
When I started playing games on RetroArch I noticed that 2 buttons were reversed. I tried to fix it in RetroArch by modifying the button layout in the app settings. This did not work. I went back to the Apple TV home, then to Settings>Remotes and Devices>Bluetooth>Nimbus+ and clicked on Forget This Device. The old controller was no longer listed and I went to RetroArch, started playing again and the 2 buttons were still reversed. I returned to Apple TV home, went to Settings>Remotes and Devices>Bluetooth>Pro Controller and noticed that software had a pic of the controller that looked like the steelseries Nimbus +. This must be the driver for the old controller that I had clicked Forget This Device.
After clicking Forget This Device, I again paired the new BitDo Pro 3 controller, I looked at the driver and it is still the steelseries Nimbus+ driver (the pic of the former device is still there). I tried adding a new profile in that driver to remap the 2 reversed buttons and it only partially worked. When play in RetroArch, hitting one button would be like hitting the 2 buttons at once. I then tried remapping the buttons in RetroArch again, but that didn't fix the problem.
Right now I think the main problem is that when I pair my new 8Bitdo Pro 3 controller, Apple TV some how assumes it uses the same driver as my previous controller. Even after I click Forget This Device when I pair my new controller it pulls up the driver of my old controller.
I'm sorry I gave a long explanation but I wanted to give every detail.
How can I remove the old controller driver from the Apple TV and install the driver of my new 8BitDo Pro 3 controller?
Thank you for any help

Original Title: Apple TV uses software/driver for my old bluetooth game controller, for my new bluetooth game controller, even when I clicked Forget This Device. How can I remove the old software/driver and use the specific driver for my new game controller?
