FlyDigi Apex 5/Vader 5 Support

[WhenSmokeClears]

Are there any plans in the pipeline to support the new line of FlyDigi Controllers (Apex 5/ Vader 5)?

Appreciate you guys

Plans are there. But no ETA yet.

Any update on this? The Vader 5 Pro just released recently. I tried to set it up, but it's detected as an ordinary XBOX controller.

We have plans to support the Flydigi Apex 5 in upcoming updates. Unfortunately, there's no ETA yet.

We can't provide any guarantees regarding the Vader 5/V5 Pro at this time.

Okay, 3 month later, what about now?

Hi. As we mentioned, we don't have an ETA for adding support for this controller.
Once support for this or another device is introduced, the information will be announced on our official news channels.

I kinda keep regretting buying the new reWASD subscription more and more... it's kinda useless if it doesn't support newer controllers that dominate the market.

ReWasd is an incredible utility it's just a shame it takes so long to get support for the most popular and dominant S-tier controllers on the market. My understanding is that FlyDigi has been difficult to work with in the past but it seems they have made an effort to improve functionality with ReWasd given the "allow 3rd party" option specifically mentioning ReWasd that is now included with the Space Station software.

As paying customers shouldn't we be privy to be informed as to exactly why it takes so long? Why so secretive about it?

Question: As long as there is no official support, can it be achieved as we do with Wolverine?
Remap buttons to keyboard keys in Flydigi software, "Flydigi virtual keyboard" device can trigger reWASD, and we can remap it like that?

I don't own a Flydigi but from what I can find, the implementations are different.
Razer mapping works on firmware/driver level, and presents itself as a virtual device that we can use in reWASD.
Flydigi uses a service that sends the keyboard inputs. Maybe there is no virtual device.

Would it still work to capture the virtual keys in reWASD?

I suppose Send Input would work, but in that case we can't mute the virtual key. A lot of games will react to keyboard input to change the UI automatically, and that is not good for our situation. In most games you cannot disable this behavior, but maybe there are some keys that it doesn't react to? Media keys or something? Might work, if we can assign those both in Flydigi as an output and in reWASD as an input...

Btw, I think it should be possible to mute Send Input, AutoHotkey can do it after all... Is there a reason that it was not implemented? If we can mute it, it solves the problem mentioned above and we have a generic method to remap a lot of controllers, as long as you can assign keyboard keys to them in the native software.

Can somebody answer my question please? I am interested in getting a FlyDigi but I want to know if I can use reWASD with it. If it works in the same way as with Wolverine, through the virtual keyboard, that would be good but I need to know for sure if that is going to work.

Next version of reWASD will support a few more FlyDigi controllers (unfortunately, I don't have the full list at the moment). And the best solution to this situation would be to get one of those or a currently supported FlyDigi controller.

Muting Send Input is impossible, as it is not a function that you can get inputs from exclusively.
