can you send a screen shot of device manager (set it to View -> Devices by Container -> unfold Wooting One)

#

should look something like this after (ofc with a wooting one in your case)

autumn karma
prisma cosmos
#

hm

#

if you run joy.cpl from the start menu or Win+R what shows up there for controller settings in windows?

#

(joy.cpl (joypad contropanel) is just the name of the file that opens the gamepad config)

autumn karma
#

didn't fully understand your direction

prisma cosmos
#

does it work if you go to properties there?

autumn karma
#

affirmative.

prisma cosmos
#

hmmmmm

#

so windows is happy with the data

autumn karma
#

jumping into a game known to work (a game about digging a hole)

prisma cosmos
#

but other software cant hear it basically

autumn karma
#

this also accepts the input.

#

but others known to have compatability? negative.

#

**known to work through my own testing

prisma cosmos
#

really odd

#

do you launch all games you tried through steam or no?

autumn karma
#

uhm, yes.

#

i can't think of a game I tried launching outside of steam

#

I have a couple I can try, if needs I guess

#

but controller compat =.=

prisma cosmos
#

yeah i asked cause of the steam controller layer

autumn karma
#

right

prisma cosmos
#

i hoped you tried only the working game through steam

#

and the rest not

autumn karma
#

affirmative

prisma cosmos
#

what other games did you try?

autumn karma
#

gta V. stranded deep, TLOU 1&2, Skyrim, Dying Light 1&2, Dayz,

#

Apocolypse Party

#

Enshrouded

prisma cosmos
#

when you tried with your actual controller

#

did you try moving and pressing keyboard keys at the same time?

#

as in moving with controller

autumn karma
#

simultaneous input? yes to: TLOU, Skyrim, Dying light, Dayz

#

enshrouded (i found the issue with this so have ommited)

prisma cosmos
#

when you had issues with those did you have left stick mapped to wasd?

#

or ijkl

autumn karma
#

left handed: so have mapped to ijkl

#

same as photo sir

prisma cosmos
#

do you have the normal movement keys for the game also on ijkl (so if you wouldnt use the analog mode)

autumn karma
#

yes. Also tried with gamemapping override turned on and off.

prisma cosmos
#

ah great thats where i was going

autumn karma
#

thought so

prisma cosmos
#

so both failed i assume

autumn karma
#

correct

#

if 'analog' was enabled

prisma cosmos
#

ii assume skyrim special edition?

#

no mods?

autumn karma
#

either completely fucked movement, or it was 0 or 1

autumn karma
prisma cosmos
#

ok thats the smallest of those i have so ill install it real quick to sanity check if i have the same issues

autumn karma
#

I really appreciate it sir

#

I also booted it up to test, keyboard is 0 or 1, not a variable input. Mouse doesn't work at the same time as keyboard (or xinput)

prisma cosmos
#

wut

autumn karma
#

?

prisma cosmos
#

the mouse not working at the same time

#

i could swear i recall it working mixed input for skyrim

autumn karma
#

nah

#

I can move the cursor across, say, the esc settings screen

#

but clicking does.... fuck all

#

not sure if Dishonoured is in the list of compatible games or not but I just tried that too.. It's 0 or 1, not variable.

prisma cosmos
#

yes column is xbox mode

#

and works refers to mixed input

autumn karma
#

link if avalible?

#

for my own records, I guess

autumn karma
#

thanks ❤️

prisma cosmos
#

its not the most up to date by anymeans

autumn karma
#

it's really weird.

autumn karma
#

I have the acutation point set to 1.5mm

#

would that make a difference?

prisma cosmos
#

not for analog controls

autumn karma
#

from what you've mentioned device controller wise, and others. I can't think why this isn't working

#

controller hasn't been connected during my PC's uptime

prisma cosmos
#

i mean windows is clearly happy given it works in the windows gamepad settings

autumn karma
#

yea....

prisma cosmos
#

although i also dont know why it didnt read controller data on the website for you

#

its like smth sits and eats all the inputs

autumn karma
#

uninstall and reinstall wootility?

#

I think I've done that since getting the kb

prisma cosmos
#

wootility does nothing

#

like literally

autumn karma
#

right.

prisma cosmos
#

im more trying to figure out why the browser didnt see controller stuff going on

#

it would be the most accepting

#

doesnt care for what controller or what slot

#

just shows data it receives

autumn karma
#

oh for fuck sake

#

firefox

#

chrome reads it

prisma cosmos
#

gg

#

does it read right?

#

player 1 and left stick moves

autumn karma
#

affirmative

#

where do I see p1?

prisma cosmos
#

top above the controller name

#

it shows where it detected it

autumn karma
#

yeah, disregard

#

all guud

prisma cosmos
#

great

#

then my crappy internet today almost finished skyrim

#

then we can see if it works for me

#

then we can figure out why (most likely) steam doesnt like what you wanna do

autumn karma
#

cool. thanks

#

cant wait until I can swap out all our network cards & switch

#

2.5gb/s in our area

prisma cosmos
#

ok so no mixed input i can confirm that but it works fine for me

#

with the walking and running and such

autumn karma
#

lemme check again

#

skyrim perhaps a poor choice of test platform on my part

#

inconclusive when it comes to walk, run, etc.

prisma cosmos
#

should be quite easy to spot although idk if there was a limit on analog range for controller output on flaretech boards

autumn karma
#

this is the general consensus I am leaning towards

past flower
#

i got the gamepad mode to work on marvel rivals, but it keeps swapping the UI and making a pinging noise, saying "switching devices" every time i click a button lol it's unplayable, but having slow walk and slow strafing is really cool on a keyboard

autumn karma
#

it's just an old board

#

depending on game it will always swap UI

#

because the game is interpreting different controls, and therfore different control prompts

#

part of the tech atm

prisma cosmos
#

yeah so from what i can tell everything should work fine in skyrim (and any other game) at worst steam controller layer is messed up inbetween the controller and game

#

and yes the analog range was limited

#

so maybe if you change the curve it could lead to more obvious walk and run transisitons

autumn karma
#

wootility, or steam?

prisma cosmos
#

wootility

autumn karma
#

oh, wootility

prisma cosmos
#

yeah lets you change how a profiles analog curve looks

autumn karma
#

tried messing with that too

prisma cosmos
#

and then in the website you can check if the stick moves as youd expect

autumn karma
#

hmm

#

well tony

prisma cosmos
#

you prob wanna try the slow preset

autumn karma
#

yeh

#

what board are you using?

prisma cosmos
#

two he

#

the screenshot is from wooting one settings though

autumn karma
#

I might just need to upgrade

halcyon crow
#

Well it should register inputs at all still

prisma cosmos
#

i mean if you have general use for our keyboards id say sure. if its mainly for analog in games id say only if you really have the extra cahs to burn

#

idk if im comfortable just blanket chilling our boards for a main use as a mixed input/controller type thing

autumn karma
#

I want to be a part of the movement that is analog input

prisma cosmos
#

ill recommend if you get a new HE board for the full 0.1-4mm range also get springs at 100g or more for ijkl

autumn karma
#

deciding to walk, instead of run, should be on the same key, not a modifier

prisma cosmos
#

just makes the analog movement smoother

#

as in closer controlability to controller sticks

autumn karma
#

100g means full actuation?

#

bottoming out?

prisma cosmos
#

thats the weight needed to fully press down yes

autumn karma
#

right

prisma cosmos
#

i eprsonally really liked 250g springs back on the wooting two flaretech but the HE switches aren as easy to pull out and swap as the flaretechs

#

still dosable no question but more hastle

#

and 250g really aint nice for typing

#

(at least the first few weeks)

autumn karma
#

still QC towards WASD, or is that just the one?

prisma cosmos
#

qc?

autumn karma
#

so with the one, WASD, QE, etc were the most.... accurate?

#

in regards to their reading of actuation

prisma cosmos
#

no

#

all the same

#

at least when new

autumn karma
#

I found that I had to swap WASD with IJKL

prisma cosmos
#

after some wear the most used switches usually go first

#

we made it a goal to not treat any key really special in any regard so it stays as configurable as possible

#

from the wooting one till today (and our future keyboards)

autumn karma
#

hmm, review websites have likely done you some discredit there I guess.

#

(may I just say, I have never. never had this level of respect & help from the company I have bought peripherals from.)

prisma cosmos
#

i mean i can only speak for myself (although i know quite a few with the same sentiment and same general way into wooting): i was a customer until a few years ago

#

i joined just because i liked what wooting does and what their whole stick is. if that changes too much id prob just quit.

autumn karma
#

Do you focus on CSM, or are you part of the dev team?

prisma cosmos
#

backend dev

#

very few frontend bits i do

autumn karma
#

right

#

you got a kickback link for the website?

prisma cosmos
#

dw we get paid handsomely

#

and no we dont have such links

autumn karma
#

right

prisma cosmos
#

we do this cause its our passion mainly so as long as youre happy we are happy really

autumn karma
#

I'd like that your sups be aware that your support is why I am purchasing

#

can I do that, or what?

prisma cosmos
#

ill just forward this thread into our internal appreciation slack channel

#

win-win for everyone

autumn karma
#

excellent.

#

keep doing what you're doing, I wont bother you any futher ❤️
