Same here using a Nintendo®️ Switch Pro controller. RT and LT buttons do not work. They work well on iPhone/iPad so it is probably not a issue with the game itself.

I got it working again.

What I did was, I go to Settings->Controller Setup->Restore Defaults
Then I remapped the keys again to my liking.
Works again

Hi, The Setting is Genshin Impact setting or Playcover setting or System setting?

I believe this is actually a genshin bug. I encountered the same bug on my iPad and this fix worked for me too.
