In the software - that configure the firmware; disable the logical button, so the press is no more registered as DX button.

And where would you disable it, I have looked right through the softwear and see no option to disable it, if you remove it it throws up an error.

Cheers

How is the extra button a problem for you? Couldn't you just not bind it to anything? It will always physically click but it makes no difference if DCS ignores it, or the hardware doesn't send it.

This...  I have buttons I do not bind for that very reason.

Does your software allow you to assign a "Null" to the position?.. TARGET gives you this option, so the center detent of a switch does not have to be used, or any of the four way Hats positions.  Look for that in your software...

Sorry, but this is trying to find a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Just don't bind the centre press, and, et voila, you have a 4 way hat!
