    I'm surprised you didn't mention that the buttons can be rebound as keyboard keys. CZM1-4 can be used to output common modifiers like crtl, shift, alt, F1-12 etc.
    Unless flydigi removed that from their software

      Honestly, I'm not sure why I didn't specifically mention that. I think my (bad) assumption may have been thinking it was common knowledge at this point.
      But yes, literally all the buttons (except Home and Function) can be remapped to anything else. Gamepad buttons.. keyboard keys.. mouse clicks.. macros.. set as turbos.. etc.

    I also use gyro + right analog stick for some of my games, but with a PS4 Controller.
    What I do so that the gyro does not interfere with the aiming sensitivity when using the analog stick is to set that gyro automatically gets disabled when the analog stick is used.
    I use steam controller settings to set that up, though, so I don't know if that's possible with you.

  • @jubuttib
    @jubuttib Місяць тому +1

    I take slight issue with the polling rate explanation, mainly because the devices get polled at a (more or less) constant rate, and the actual delay depends on when exactly the state change happens in relation to the polling.
    So if you had a 1 Hz polling rate, and you pressed the button right after the device had been already polled, you'd have to wait for a second before the next poll would register the press. If you pressed the button 999 ms after a poll, the next poll would happen 1 ms later and the press would be registered almost instantly. Basically you could have almost anything between 1 second and 1 millisecond as the delay caused by the polling rate.
    Sometimes I wish we could still do interrupt based input devices more easily... =)

    Excellent. I love how you use a flight sim to test the joystick, great idea! Thank you.
    About the Gyro issue you mention, this looks normal to me because you likely set the gyro output to... a right stick output. Obvious this is going to add up to the existing physicial right stick output. The reason people like Gyro aiming is that with an app like DS4W you can output the gyro to a mouse instead. This way the output of both at the same time shouldn't conflict.
    I'm actually still on the fence about this controller because nobody testing it atm seems to know how to setup gyro for videogames even though it should be straight forward: just use the Flydigi app to output the gyro to mouse movement.. Which I don't even know if they offer this option, dunno if they support emulating mouse to right stick (useful for some games), I don't know if this controller is otherwise supported in DS4W app, I don't know how Rewasd or Steam Input would recognize it and if 3axis Gyro would be recognized on both, etc etc. I'm only familiar with Gyro aiming on a Dualsense and it's perfect with DS4W but obviously Dualsenses have a stick drift issue so I'm looking to replace it.

    • @Tuuvas
      @Tuuvas  Місяць тому

      See, I thought that as well regarding the gyro issue just adding onto the right stick since I was moving it too. But as you can see at 17:00, I made sure to keep the controller planted on the table. This allowed me to activate the gyro without actually moving it, and despite that I still saw the jump in the input.

      I have two possible guesses: 1. You're not on Dongle mode and are instead using Nintendo Switch (NS) mode or 2. You need to calibrate your device. If #2, you calibrate by turning on the controller, pressing and holding Start+Select+DpadUp until the light flashes, fully rotating both sticks couple times, pressing each trigger fully a couple times, then press Start+Select+DpadUp to finish calibrating.

    • @Tuuvas
      @Tuuvas  Місяць тому

      So, the reason for that is because most controllers that have a "Nintendo Switch Controller" mode, like NS mode shown for this Vader 4 Pro, turns the analog triggers into digital on/off buttons. This is because the Nintendo Switch doesn't actually use analog triggers for any of its controllers.
      That said, you can absolutely use both analog triggers and a gyro at the same time with this Vader 4 Pro. Just don't use NS mode, and instead use dongle mode.

      @@Tuuvas Personally I don’t think the music fits at all, but another song or genre will. Just tone it down so it’s barely audible without focusing on it. I use headphones when watching UA-cam, so I tend to notice weird audio mixing. Maybe people on their phones with less dynamic speakers don’t notice it? Phone speakers tend to be tuned towards to highlighting voices.
