joystick axis mapping broken

[mrduck81]

whenever I try to map an axis with my joystick it automatically starts off at axis 0.2 (yaw) and when you change it to something else, for example, pitch which should be axis 0.1,  it looks fine but when you go and launch a ship none of the axis work. when you go back into the settings and try to re-map the axis it is, once again, axis 0.2

furthermore, all of the other buttons work perfectly fine and changing the axis seems to register fine as well which just makes the entire problem stranger

I have the Logitech extreme 3D pro joystick: https://www.pccasegear.com/products/6607?gclid=Cj0KCQjw9uHOBRDtARIsALtCa97yNwylKHcaSku-s_IAGSNVDDfDLrRXvVN7dQwmFH7hIG8AnoFHw_caAkshEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Exactly same issue, exactly same stick. Buttons work fine, axises don't even register.

Supremely tired of eternal troubleshooting.
