Razer Atrox Dragon Ball Fighter Z Arcade Stick

I purchased the Xbox one version, and I've had it for a while now. I originally bought it to play fighting games with a buddy of mine, and for that purpose, it works great. The build is solid, and the product feels responsive (to be fair, I'm not a fighting game expert). I swapped out the original bracket for an octagonal bracket, which was very easy (unscrew the old one, pop in the new one). My issue with the Atrox is that it doesn't seem to be much of an arcade stick, but rather a fighting game stick. It seems to work with most of the fighting games that I have, but works with very few of my other games. When I bought it, I assumed that the arcade stick would be interpreted by the Xbox One as the standard controller's Left Stick or Dpad. That's not the case. It seems as though the Atrox won't work at all if the manufacturers of the game didn't build in a specific code allowing it to work (e.g. won't control the menu screen, behaves as if no controller is plugged in). Apparently, there are youtube videos that show you how to solder in a new PCB which will allow it to operate for other games, but that just seems excessive considering that you probably shelled out a few hundred dollars for this controller. I find it confusing that Microsoft and Razer would build in an artificial barrier like this. I think it would be a lot of fun to play side scrollers and games like Diablo 3 with the Atrox (even if certain functionality would be lost by not having a Dpad or Right Stick).
