Force windows games to recognize playstation controller? (sh.itjust.works)

I have a dualshock 4 controller, but windows games see it as an xbox controller.
Is there a way to force them to see the proper controller and thus show the proper input?
Any suggestion from proton to portproton to lutri is welcome

If a game doesn't see your controller you can normally run the game from steam and the game should see it as a xbox controller, but if you wanna to see the playstation layout that will change from game to game, some will show, some will require mods and some you just have to give up
