How to tell Steam/proton that my Joystick is not a Game Controller

I'm trying to get my new WinWing Ursa Minor Fighter joystick to work with Elite Dangerous.

I run Elite via Steam on a Linux box.

When I go to Steam -> Settings -> Controller I see my WinWing Joystick recognised as a Game Controller and when I run Elite Dangerous and try and set up the flight controls Elite also sees the Joystick as a Game Controller and ignores most of the buttons and uses Game Controller nomenclature for any buttons it does react to.

I've been using a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick under the same settings and this does not show up under Settings -> Controller

I'm guessing that Steam/proton is somehow incorrectly recognising the WinWing joystick and passing that onto Elite.

I've tried Disabling Stem input for the game but it hasn't helped.

Anybody got any ideas?
