Mini-stick center button mode change AND button press

Postby Narkhelek » Sun Jun 02, 2024 0:56

I have a VKB Gladiator NXT EVO and I would like to make it so the A1 mini-stick center button both cycles between POV/Axis mode AND performs a button press all with one click. The intended function is to start in POV mode and when I press center button it will switch to Axis mode and send a button press to switch my game to 3rd person view. Pressing again would return me to POV mode and send the same button press to toggle out of 3rd person mode. The button press can be the same both going to Axis mode and back to POV mode as 3rd person view is a simple toggle. I've been searching all morning and haven't found anything yet that clearly explains how this is done. Thanks!

To avoid losing the center button when using the uSSw mode switch, use the Tempo B mode. Then a long press will activate the switch, and a short press will activate the button.

Thanks for the reply @Ron61. That's how I have it setup now and it works ok. What I would really like is to default in POV mode and have those bound to various functions, then when I hit the center button have it switch to Axis mode, sending a button press as well to tell my game to switch to 3rd person view and leverage the axis mode to analog pan around in 3rd person. Tempo B will get me there in two steps but it would be ideal if transitioning to Axis would just send an additional button press as well allowing me to do exactly what I would like in a one step state transition.

Activate the POV mode on start checkbox.

You can use booleans or RPB physical line functions to trigger a second action at the same time you are pressing the button.

Here is the steps to do this:

1. Change the uSSw "Switch by" to Button Alt.
2. Find an unused physical button.
3. Set that button to RPB.
4. Set the "Replicate Button N" on the RPB you just set up to the physical button number of the uSSw button.
5. Change the logical button output to what you want/need/unused one.

Thanks to @Tuesday for helping through setting up these steps.
