Gamepad: Mouse cursor goes to low right corner, so I cannout use the web GUI configuration app

Hello,

I want to be able to use a small macro keyboard (which is just like a regular keyboard) along my gamepad, and make the PC believe the macro keyboard presses are actually inputs on that gamepad. The reason for this is because some games do not accept “mixed input”, which is using a gamepad and keyboard at the same time, so all my inputs must appear to be gamepad, so I can keep my thumbs on the sticks at all times.

Other information: I have both the Adafruit feather, and the custom v5 board. I use a powered usb hub.

I can only get recognized the Dualsense, not my other gamepads, but at least it is recognized along the small macro keyboard.

My problem is that as soon as the Dualsense is plugged in and the board paired with the computer, the mouse cursor arrow goes to the lower right corner of the screen, so I cannot use the configuration GUI of HID Remapper. Interestingly this does not happen when I plug the Dualsense directly to the PC.

I now see the codes both sticks generate under Usage column in Monitor tab), is there a way I can use the GUI program without the cursor going to the lower right corner of the screen?

As you noticed the left stick on a gamepad uses the same usage codes as mouse X/Y, which is what causes this issue when you connect a gamepad to an HID Remapper configured to act as a mouse with unmapped inputs passthrough enabled (which is the default).

Since you want to use your HID Remapper as a gamepad, not as a mouse, just connect it to your PC without plugging the gamepad into it. Change the emulated device type, save it, and only then plug the gamepad in (you will have to unplug and replug HID Remapper after changing the emulated device type for it to start sending inputs to the PC).
