Gladiator K Hat Switch

[samsamm777]

Hey,

Ive just recieved my Gladiator K today with the SCG grip. Its a fantastic piece of kit. However, i thought one of the hats was a ministick when I bought it, but since receiving it, i have realised its not.

Is there a way i can make one of the hats behave more like a joystick? I want it for looking around my cockpit, so need it to appear as an axis, rather than 4 buttons. Is it possible?

The A1 hat is a ministick only on the Premium version of SCG; standard version has a Hat switch. But you could still assign it to look around, I use that in Star Citizen and works just fine.

hmm. i wouldnt have a diagonal though right? Im really dissapointed. Might have to send it back and get the Premium.

Sure, you could ask your dealer if it’s possible. But before that give it a try with the Hat, for me it worked the best - I replaced the ministick with a Hat on my left hand Kosmosima exactly for that.

I've been readying the docs. 4.3.9. it explains about the hat setup. currently my hat is just 4 discrete buttons, but it looks like it can be setup better.

I can't figure it out though

Sorry, but I don't understand what you're asking

Virtually HAT can be represented as eight position switch. Intermediate positions are generated by software(

My A1 hat represents itself as 16,17,18,19,20. Discrete buttons. Its says in the documentation (quoted above) That it can be setup as a virtual hat, and the intermediate positions generated by software. Also, for more context, when i goto the 'Test' tab, when i move the A1 hat, it doesnt show on the POV 1 output. Image provided.

Only the ministick would get 8 positions; regular hat gets only 4 with center push, even if it's programmed as POV hat.
