Help needed for newbie regarding logitech E3DP and Xbox 360 controller.
-
if you assign the pinky switch and you go ingame to controlls page, would bms pick up if you press the pinky switch and another key ingame? In the controlls page if you press a joystick button it will show you what its assigned to and what button it is, does it show the same when pinky switch is held in?
Unfortunately, no.

Unfortunately, no.
Ah ok what would be the best way to approach this without starting from scratch, Importing my already made keyfile and then change from there or start a new keyfile?

What does the Pinky switch do then?
It works like shift for the keyboard, holding it in for the set amount time specified makes it active then you can assign 2 functions for 1 button on the joystick.

WurminatorZA, thank you, going to try that one. Take it that it only works for button presses and not Coolie HAT type switches ?

Well i’ve been reading the manual a bit on keyfiles and looked at the limited amount of keyfile editor vids on youtube. It seems that you kan assign the hat switch buttons to the shift state aswell. So i think you can assign hat switch “buttons” too. I’m going to play around with it tonight and see what it can do. Just sucks that theres no logitech extreme 3d pro profile in the key file editor(only thrustmaster and saitek).

It works as shift key but you can’t check if you could correctly assign shifted keys from UI. You only can edit and check them by manually editing key files.

Thanks chihirobelmo, still very early days for me with a lot to learn, keeping at it though.

Good, luck. Let us know how you get on

I played around a bit, ok so it seems that when you get the pickle working you will have to setup your joystick keybindings again. @Jurrasic we should fly together seeing as we are both new to BMS

Ok so i got the perfect keybindings on my joystick and controller thanks to the pinky shift and Terminator! Thanks also to chihirobelmo for his help on the BMS reddit page and for steering me in the right direction on this forum.
