Hall effect sensor Flight stick not recognized by games

Other Hardware Sensors
1

I have built a Flight with two hall effect sensors using a 3rd party Pro Micro to interpret signals (Amazon.com):

This is my first Arduino project, there is a possibility that there is an issue with the actual game side of things (tried it on multiple). However, I want to make sure the Arduino side is correct.

Using the joystick library I was quite easily able to get the controller working and moving around in the x-y axis. The windows USB game controller settings recognize it and it moves perfectly inside the visual box. However, when i go into steam or a game, it will not recognize the controller or the bindings. Here is my code:

 <Joystick.h>
Joystick_ Joystick;
 
int JoystickX;
int JoystickY;





void setup() {
 
  pinMode(A0, INPUT_PULLUP);

  pinMode(A2, INPUT_PULLUP);
 

  Joystick.begin();
  Joystick.setXAxisRange(0, 1024); 
  Joystick.setYAxisRange(0, 1024);
 
}

void loop() {


  JoystickX = analogRead(A2);
  JoystickY = analogRead(A0); 


    
 
  Joystick.setXAxis(JoystickX);
  Joystick.setYAxis(JoystickY);


  Joystick.sendState();
}

Am I missing something blatantly obvious?
Steam occasionally recognizes the joystick as AXIS 0, but not independently as x and y.

Thank you

Does your game engine recognize an actual USB joystick? Don't expect us to debug your game engine.
