  • Mouse directions remapping without virtual controller

    Hi. I am making a "gesture" on my mouse. In order to work how I want to I made it like this:
    X2 mouse button on HOLD - Go to shift layer 1
    On Shift Layer 1:
    - I remapped directions to virtual controller's RIGHT STICK (I used Virtual SWITCH Pro one)
    - I then MUTED and went to Advanced and mapped each UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT to my desired keys/combo.

    My issue:

    This is working fine as expected, EXCEPT it makes a virtual controller for no reason (all that I map are keyboard keys), because I have to remap the mouse movements to a virtual STICK first.
    Now my system sees a second controller that I don't need, cause some games will see a controller connected. Even steam notifies me that I connected a Nintendo controller.
    Actually idk why there are 2 Nintendo controllers connected, maybe because i have multiple shift layers that use the same remap to "RIGHT stick" feature?

    I wonder if there is another way, or why can't the mouse MOVEMENTS be remapped to a virtual mouse or even to "itself"?
    In my case it seems that this flow: mouse->to virtual controller ->back to mouse/keys are just extra steps.

    For now I am using the HidHide software to hide the virtual ones, will see if I have issues.
    Thank You.

    Technically, it's currently impossible to reassign mouse movement zones without first assigning them to the emulated left or right thumbstick.

    We may reconsider this behavior in the future, but we do not have an ETA for such changes at the moment.

    Regarding the issue with two virtual controllers:
    Two virtual controllers should not be created if the config is applied to only one device group. Please make sure that the config is assigned to a single group of devices.

      I understand. So it is nothing I can do now. Interesting because this Gesture can be a thing, You can have SO many macros/keys just with one or 2 extra mouse buttons (like X4 and X5). Example : Hold X5 -> layer1 -> swipe right -> reWasd something etc etc.

      I hope in the future it can be implemented, and not go into unnecessary remapping of a virtual controller to remap back a key/mouse.

      For the second issue, I'm sorry I forgot I ungrouped my keyboard from the mouse and it remained with its virtual controller attached. I removed it since now it is fine, thanks.

      PS: I removed my Logi Options+ software for my MX Master. I lost some buttons (no onboard memory on this mouse), but still, I can remap so many things in reWasd on a 4 button mouse, i just need to remember them all hehe.
      reWasd is trully the best remapping software!

      Have a great day.
