Pinkie/shift sticks in software
-
Using kesmonkey profile. Hello profile is much appreciated. Have a problem with the pinky/shift key. I did dare to read your instructions and entered the code into key file. When I press the shift key the lcd on throttle displays shift but when I release it it stays on. Tested it in joy.something and the button worked, press and released it.when I clear the profile out then shift shows on lcd and goes of when I release Using win10 home 64 bit. Using x52 non pro with track ir 5, saitek rudders and cougar mfd,s

Had a similar problem. See if this works for you:
It’s neither intended nor unintended. It’s just the way it happened, not the result of planning.
I had assumed the pinky switch would be momentary (had to be held), but when I applied the DX command and used it, it was an on-off-on switch. I just assumed that was how it was ‘supposed’ to be.
Maybe someone with a DX ‘pinky shift layer’ on another application would be able to say if it’s the same there.
Edit:
See this post to ‘fix’ the Pinky key: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?18522-X52-Pro-DX-Profile&p=311975&viewfull=1#post311975
Open the Saitek profile in the Saitek SST software. Find the Pinky button line. Choose the > to get the command menu. Deselect ‘Latched’. Save the profile.
Pinky key should work as expected …. short press = FOV/Zoom on SOI; Long Press (and hold) = Shifted Layer DX Commands; Release reverts to unshifted DX command layer.

It was not latched. I’m pulling my hair out on this one. Thanks for the help though. Appreciate it.
