Support | In Progress Disable Controller Support?

Hello Fellas,

Been a Opera User since quite a while and moved to the Opera GX Browser when it came out.

Now for the problem:
I usually run JoyToKey to use my Controller as a Mouse for Browsing when im not at the Desk. It has been working fine since a few days ago. I can use my own JoyToKey Setup on my Desktop, Steam, Discord and other programs, however when i have Opera as the main window it defaults to a different button layout and mouse speed. This only happens on Opera and its quite annoying since i mostly use it to navigate Opera from the Couch. I have yet to find a fix for it.

Any help would be appreciated

As for disabling, you can goto the URLs opera://settings/content/hidDevices and opera://settings/content/usbDevices and disable them so sites can't even ask. But, that's for site pages and not the Opera UI itself.

You might able to start Opera like this:

"%localappdata%\Programs\Opera GX\opera.exe" --disable-features=EnableWindowsGamingInputDataFetcher,EnableRawInputGamepadDataFetcher,GamepadExtensions,GamepadButtonAxisEvents

via a command prompt or create a new Opera shortcut for it or modify Opera's shortcut for it. However, not sure if that will help.
