As the mentions are ambiguous, I'm not too surprised you asked, but it was still under investigation, rather than in progress, the "Update 8" should have been removed from item #5

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 8 Notes
Greetings Commanders. Well here we are. Update 8 for Odyssey is very close right now, HOWEVER I do need to bring the news of a slight change to the expected deployment schedule. (Now listen...You all warned me last night, right? I'm here to jinx us...clearly.) I'll be open with you with...

I'm sure one of the many supporters of this issue will be along to answer you any moment 
I'd posted before adding the 2nd bit - sorry
I'd have just loaded the game and tried...I'm sure one of the many supporters of this issue will be along to answer you any moment
They probably haven't bought it yet - waiting for those sweet 32 inputs...
Haha! I uninstalled it a long time ago waiting for this archaic 32 button limit issue to be resolved. That is why I am asking.
So it was purely academic then, that's ok.
Hopefully fdev are taking note that the only person who seems to care about this at all is an ex-player. Time to close the issue and move on!
Well, this is a really friendly forum.
I am an ex-player who would love to get back into ED, but until the 32 button limit is lifted, I won't.
'The only person'? Well, the last time I looked, this issue was near the top of the most wanted feature list, and has been moaned about for a number of years by many people.
Good grief, all I am asking is if someone who plays the game can tell me if this has - as promised - appeared in the Update 8. It's not a lot to ask, is it?

As a complete immersion nerd who has a battlechair groaning under the weight of Hotas, mounted keyboards, Tablets and button boxes. It would be nice to see this limit removed, but I'm still playing and having more fun than ever.
Great, so could you please test to see if the limit has been removed in Update 8? Thanks.
If you had read the links Rat Catcher provided 8 posts up you would see that it was listed as "Under Investigation" with a "planned" release in U8 but as there is no mention of it in the U8 release notes (also linked above) we can assume that it didn't make it into U8
Being relatively high on the list of desired changes, it would definitely have been mentioned if included in U8
There is nothing speculative/theoretical about the OP's request. It's as practical as can be.
Are you okay?
FYI it still doesn't seem to work for me.
I've worked around the issue in the meantime with vJoy and Joystick Gremlin. There are some annoyances with this workaround but it mostly works. Have you tried it?
I'm more concerned about yourself, to be frank,,,
