Can you change a device ID?

[Marcq]

I made two button box using Zero Delay Arcade USB ENCODER , 20 momentary switches/ buttons total, mapped the button of the first box no problem but the second one is conflicting with the first one since they both have the same ID(I guess). Any ways to change this? In the controller section they are listed as generic usb joystick

 

Thanks, Marc..

Something else is likely to be the issue. Device ID's are never identical, even for two identical devices.

Yeah!! That's what I thought . It's two very basic button box, 10 switches each. In the controller section I can see two "generic usb joystick" and I can map keys in both of them but once in the game only the second box works but with the mapping of the first box :wallbash:

Marcq,

I could see some vendor not taking the time to change the GUID. But you can check it for yourself to see if the GUID is not really unique.

But I thought DCS shows you the GUID in the controller section? Maybe not. It's been a while since I looked.

Thanks!! I'll take a look

 

edit: So I took a look and they do have the same ID, now I wonder if changing the name of one of them will make a difference

Ok!! All is good, I restarted the game, remapped the button boxes and it worked. Maybe they needed to be mapped at the same time

 

Thanks again for the help
