Renaming input device possible?

Postby dannyh » Sun Dec 08, 2024 13:10

Hi there,

i have a Gladiator Evo with one additional GNX-THQ, so for axis 9 there are two devices displayed ("VKBsim Gladiator EVO R THQ"). Is it possible to have different names? Something like "VKBsim Gladiator EVO R THQ-1" or "VKBsim Gladiator EVO R THQ-2" would be fine.

Best regards,
Danny

Unfortunately that is a Windows limitation. The USB standard only allows two controller inputs on the same device a shared name, and if the operating system does not do anything to tell them apart, there is little the hardware manufacturer can do.

Thank you all for the insights and thank you too for the link. Thats exactly my issue. I guess, I will wait a little bit, perhaps MS will fix it in MS 2024. Or I buy a USB-HID interface with my next GNX-THQ.
