I have a G27 which has a clutch pedal you can try to press the clutch pedal halfway or press the accell & brake simultaneously halfway
& press the button for input
or just hold the button you want to input to override it if it automatically fills in the input

I manually use these values on my G27 in demul:

ANALOGUP = 33554689
ANALOGDOWN =  33554693
