its done, looks like everything works so far.

just a question about the thumb joystick. when i press it the red led on the joystick and the green led on the blackbox (3) turns on/off.


1.what does it do and can i remap it?

2.what are these 3 led numbers on the blackbox for?
the no. 2 led always on and the no 3 turns on/off when i press the thumbjoystick. is it a profile?

The lights change because you've been playing with the LEDs :)) (even scrolling the mouse when hovering over the LEDs controls could change their state). I suggest to reset them to Default.
Technically all the LEDs (4 on the Black Box and 2 on the head of the Kosmosima) could be programmed to come on/off or change colors depending what you're assigning to them - you could set LEDs to indicate a Shift active, press of a button, state of an axis or more, POV active etc. I strongly suggest to play only with the nr. 10 and 11 lights (the ones on the head of the grip) and leave the rest of it standard.
You could find more info about programming the LEDs in the manual: https://vkbcontrollers.com/wp-content/u ... _11_En.pdf

thanks.

but what can i do so that i can use the pushbutton on the thumbjoystick. right now it just turns on the light but i cant really use it as a "real" button in a game.

edit: by thumbjoystick i mean the pov hat click

Oh, you're talking about the ministick. That has 2 roles - you could use it either as axes or as a hat. Can't verify now, but I think it comes standard as ministick (2 axes) and when you push the center button and the light turns on it becomes a HAT.

HAT meaning buttons, it's activating buttons at the end of the range. Go to the Test tab in the software and test the ministick in Axes tab, press the center button and now test the buttons in the Buttons tab.
