I can't swap the yaw and roll axes on a Joy-Con controller.

[Santi-Tetra]

Last night I reflected on a specific aspect of this issue. I don't know if this can help you.
I've a PC and a laptop; my brother has a laptop. On these three computers the reWASD software is installed (each one with its corresponding license). The issue reproduces equally on these three computers. But, in all three of them I had previously installed both "BetterJoyForCemu" (v7.1) and "PadTest" (v1.0.1.1). I uninstalled both of them prior to installing reWASD. Also I cleaned Windows 10 registry manually (without any 3rd party software). Could there have been traces of these software that are causing the problem? I have checked again the Windows 10 registry and I have not found anything, but I do not know if I'm looking for the correct items. Could you tell me (if my issue were for those remains of those software) what would they be to search for and erase?

I use Joy-Con on reWASD a lot and for me the Gyro Steering Axis toggle in Preferences > Gamepads works as it is supposed to. I can also confirm that this works with singular JoyCon and not only grouped (two) JoyCon. Here is a video of me showing how it works on Roll (default) and then switched to Yaw https://youtu.be/CajBTcMQkrk?t=215 (timestamp 3:55)

Thank you very much, Jeynos, for your video. If you knew the "hundreds" of times I've seen it, trying to achieve what you achieve with your controller... 😊👌

[Santi-Tetra]

I would like to start with the fact that you don't need to go to Preferences every time and change this parameter. As I mentioned before, we have a special command for this action.

Then, I will try to clear the air with "Yaw" and "Roll" modes. So, based on your first video, where you adjusted Yaw mode and tilted the controller forwards and backward, it seems that X-axis doesn't work. but it should not work in this mode, as you should tilt the controller as a steering wheel in this case.

After you have changed the mode to Roll, you start to tilt the controller as a steering wheel, but in this mode, you already need just tilt the controller.

The gyroscope may also be inoperative if you accidentally hit the axis

I also added the picture that might help to figure it out how it works in reWASD


I suggest setting up the mode in the Preferences and leaving from that page. Then, add the command and switch between modes on the fly. I guess that the difference will be more clearly

Thank you Miron for your advices. I have read them very carefully and both your written post and your picture will help me to better contextualize the issue.
The "Pitch Axis" (move the 'nose' of the controller 'up and down'), indeed, does not give any problem. In addition, as you well comment, that axis is preset and cannot be modified.
My issue is that my controller only recognizes the "Roll Axis" regardless of whether I configure it in reWASD in the "General --- Gamepads" tab as 'Roll' or as 'Yaw'. The same thing happens with the "Gyro steering axis" command option. It's as if that function was overridden in the software or was somehow blocked in "Roll Axis". I just need to be able to use my controller in "Yaw Axis" mode; I don't need to switch between both axes. 😊

Hi.
I just updated reWASD to the latest version that you have released. However, in my case the same problem persists.
I'm attaching a link to a new video where I show you the behavior of the controller in Windows with "Tilt vs. Gyro" in both "Yaw" and "Roll" modes respectively.

As always, thanks for your ideas and your initiatives. 😃

[Miron4ik42]

I'm wondering. What do you want to achieve with this? Probably, you just need to change the Gyro mode to Gyro mode instead of Tilt mode

[Santi-Tetra]

I've created a video about the behavior of the "Gyro steering axis" of my right Joy-Con showing it in the X and Y axes (in Windows). I've uploaded it to YouTube in hidden mode. This is the link:

Again, thanks for everything!

I've no idea if there is any driver interfering. How can I know the latter?

Unfortunately, we have no specific instructions on how to find and disable/remove every controller-related driver our there.
Though all drivers installed on your system can be found in MSInfo report and removed via DriverStoreExplorer if no uninstaller is available.

Can I send you short videos or a photo that can help you better with my issue?

Feel free to post links to your videos here. But make sure the video shows the current state of the [Gyro steering axis] option, your controller, and our virtual controller tester or [Gamepad Tester] site.

I don't have any 3rd party software installed on my PC. I've x360ce software but turned off. I've no idea if there is any driver interfering. How can I know the latter?

I attach the remap that I use. It's the only one I've installed in reWASD.
Thank you for your interest in helping me.

We could not reproduce your issue. Both [Gyro steering axis] option at [Preferences > Gamepads] and the [Switch gyro steering axis] command are working as intended while remapping the right Joy-con.

We assume that you might have some 3rd party software/driver/remapper installed which somehow interferes with this.

Or there was a misunderstanding at some point. I suggest checking this article for information about the gyroscope and what can be done with it in reWASD to clear any possible misunderstandings.

[Santi-Tetra]

Thank you very much for your constant dedication to improve this great software that is reWASD. 👍

This might be a bug. We'll test it on our side and get back to you with the results.

[Santi-Tetra]

I just tried your suggestion but it doesn't work. The default axis is maintained 😓

[1ncorrect]

The "Switch gyro steering axis" command should also be available for the right Joy-con.
Try mapping it to something and see if the mapping changes the gyro axis.
