You cannot map the back buttons without using the MSI Center software. Once you download the software it prompts you to update the firmware for the controller. However, the latest firmware release bricks the controller; as in Windows doesn't even recognize it.
You cannot leave it on an earlier firmware version and use the software as there is no way to skip the prompt to update firmware. You can reset the controller to factory settings using the reset hole at the bottom of the controller, but then you just get stuck in the firmware upgrade loop above.
I'll be returning this.

Seems Amazon doesn't have it at all, Or it's a generic name?

Thanks,
As such, I'd recommend buying them from AliExpress. Their website's US store supply is sold out, leaving the only option as ship direct from China for a ridiculous $22, so I would just buy from their AliExpress store instead. They're a well known company in the retro handheld community, and the limited reviews I've seen for this controller are quite positive, as long as you're okay with the grip angle.
Aliexpress links are goofy. This link below should be for Anbernic's US distribution store on AliExpress. I'm actually waiting until the AliExpress Valentine's Day Sale starts before I buy one, as there are coupons that activate on 2/9 that should make it even cheaper as long as they don't sell out.

Also, if you do get one, make sure to upgrade the firmware. I've heard it fixes some connectivity issues. Link below to Anbernic's firmware updates.
