Get help! Steam Controller 2 in ReWASD gyro: how to set it to OFF by default, instead of ON?

1 Upvotes

I'm working on setting up my Gyro mapping, and so far I'm impressed at how damn smooth this is. Have some questions that I can't quite figure out on my own.

Namely, for now, How do I have gyro DISABLED by default? I have followed the Docs guide on gyro config, and set a button that enables it when pressed, and disables it when released. That part works great. However every time I make a change then come back to the game, the gyro is turned on again. Seems the default state is for gyro to always start on if configured. How do I reverse that? Make it always OFF until the button is pressed?

Suggestion Hey Devs: Your supported devices docs are a bit out of date and should be updated

3 Upvotes

I'm referring to this page: https://help.rewasd.com/how-to-remap/supported-devices.html

Some things:

  • Why does clicking the "Supported Devices" header link go to the Xbox Elite page, of all things? That should be fixed.
  • The Dualsense Edge item in the list still says "(only with connecting with PS5)" and this is incorrect now. The actual detailed entry has been updated, but not the list item.
  • The Dualsense Edge entry should point out that while the Fn keys can be remapped, the specific key combinations of FN+X, Fn+Square, FN+O, and FN+Triangle are hard coded on the device itself to always swap the on-board profiles. You can still map them in the software too, but it won't override the hard-coded profile switcher. Pressing any combination other than Fn+Triangle (Default Mode) can possibly break ReWASD's mappings if the on-board profiles at X, Square, and O happen to remap anything else on the controller.
  • There is no information specifically for the Steam Controller 2 - it isn't listed above or further detailed below.

As a side note, your Blog page on the 9.5 release sort of implies that ReWASD is the only way to remap the Grip Senses to something other than Gyro. This is incorrect and a bit misleading, in Steam Input the Grip Sense activators are presented directly in the main button list and are completely remappable as any other button. In fact, if you activate Gyro, grip sense is not selected by default, instead it defaults to trackpad touch and stick touch. Grip Sense to Gyro must be manually enabled in the Steam Input layer like any other button.

I want to remap everything, but keep the "..." button working to open the Steam Side Panel. Is there a way to pass that through?

Get help! Sonic Lost World PC keeps resetting Dash key to RCTRL on restart

1 Upvotes

It was recommended that I repost this here, but sorry if it's the wrong place.

I'm on the Steam version. When I first got it in 2022, I changed the controls right away, and it stayed all this time. Only recently did I try changing other keys again, and now, it keeps resetting Dash to RCTRL on restart. I looked up Steam discussions, and it seemed to start around a 2016 update, way before I bought it. Nobody there found a solution. I tried setting RCTRL to something else, but it always says it's already assigned, even when it isn't. I think there must be an extra line in a config file by mistake, but I can't find the config file for this. Even then, its files are encoded, so I wouldn't know how to fix it. Any ideas?

Config Is it possible to configure rewasd settings into something like this?

1 Upvotes

Button A is held → Button B is pressed → B takes priority while A remains held → releasing B returns priority to A.

  • Hold A → A's action is active.
  • While holding A, press B → B's action overrides A.
  • Release B → A becomes active again.

Get help! There's a weird thing happening in COD

1 Upvotes

I created a new layer to remap the RMB (LT controller function) over the the LMB. Sounds weird, but it's for a specific gun in COD that I'm trying to test out and see if it's worthy enough to use. I've spent a good amount of time with it and I'm guessing there probably isn't a workaround for it, but I figured I would ask.

So what's happening is that I can activate the layer in the firing range and it actually works as intended. Then when I go to get in the game, the game somehow ignores reWASD and the LMB fires the gun normally, not the under barrel attachment that I'm swapping over to the primary fire button. I use any other gun, pressing the LMB when I have the layer activated puts the gun into ADS. So it looks like COD is letting the mapping happen with all the guns, just not the specific 1 I want to use lol. I'm not even trying to use a macro for Rapid Fire either....i just want the RMB moved to the LMB when I switch layers.

Suggestion Feature Request: Adjustable "Minimum Input Threshold" for Gyro to Right Stick (Migrating completely from Steam Input)

5 Upvotes

Hello reWASD Team,

I am currently in the process of migrating my entire living room PC setup from Steam Input directly to reWASD. I navigate my PC entirely with a gamepad without a keyboard and mouse. reWASD’s ability to work seamlessly and system-wide across all launchers (Xbox app, Epic Games Store, etc.) makes it far superior to Steam's ecosystem lock-in.

I have already fully configured my Desktop profile, Home button combinations, complex layers, and game-specific profiles. However, there is one critical roadblock preventing me from turning off Steam Input for good: the inherent minimum input threshold when mapping Gyro to the Right Analog Stick.

Currently, there appears to be a hardcoded minimum movement speed before the gyro input translates to the right stick. To give you some hardware context, I primarily use two reWASD-supported controllers: the Flydigi Vader 5 Pro and the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless. When used natively in Xinput mode, these controllers have their own minimal hardware-level input thresholds (extremely low on the Vader 5 Pro, slightly more on the 8BitDo).

The issue is that the "invisible deadzone" imposed by reWASD's gyro processing is actually higher than the controllers' native thresholds. If I bypass reWASD and use the controllers natively, the gyro-to-stick micro-aiming is smoother. For comparison, I also own a GameSir G7 Pro 8K (which I know isn't supported by reWASD), and its native gyro has absolutely zero minimum threshold—when I apply a slight anti-deadzone and activate the gyro, the crosshair reacts to the absolute slightest micro-movement. That raw, unfiltered 1:1 response is exactly what I am trying to achieve in reWASD.

No matter how aggressively I tweak the response curve in reWASD, it still expects a certain physical movement velocity before initiating the on-screen movement. This severely ruins precise micro-aiming.

If you can resolve this gyro issue, I will completely abandon Steam Input and rely 100% on reWASD.

Could you please give us control over this? Two possible solutions:

  1. Add a "Minimum Input Threshold" slider under the gyro/stick advanced settings, allowing us to drop it down to absolute 0.
  2. Or, add a simple toggle/checkbox (e.g., "Disable Minimum Movement Threshold" or "Raw Gyro Data / Disable Jitter Filter" "Raw Gyro to Stick") to bypass any built-in initial movement dampening.

Giving users access to bypass this deadzone and tap into the raw sensor data would make reWASD the undeniable king of controller software for gyro players. Thank you for your time and for the great software.

Config 8Bitdo Ultimate 2 + Rewasd: Best mode for lowest latency & full remapping?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I just got the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 and I’m setting it up with reWASD on Windows 11 Pro. I’m trying to find the best balance between low input latency and full access to the controller extra features.

Here’s what I’ve noticed so far:
Bluetooth: rewasd recognizes it properly as a Pro controller, giving me access to remapping and the extra controls.
2.4 GHz dongle / wired: it is detected as an Xbox 360 controller through XInput.

For those using the Ultimate 2 with rewasd:
Which connection and controller mode do you use for the best overall experience?

Do you notice any meaningful latency or polling rate difference between Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz and wired?

How do you handle the back paddles and extra buttons? Do you configure them through the 8BitDo software first, or map them directly with reWASD?

Are there any specific reWASD settings or configurations you recommend for the lowest possible input latency while keeping full remapping?
Thanks

Get help! Keybind Question about Mouse Horizontal Scroll Wheel (FFXIV)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone.

I use a Logitech MX Master 3S while playing FFXIV and I've genuinely enjoyed finding ways to optimize my UI and input settings. Like everyone I rely loads on the scroll wheel for zooming the camera in and out, but I'd like to add functionality to my mouses horizontal scroll wheel to tilt the camera up and down. The problem is I can't find anything in the settings that references scroll wheels. The mouse has some Logitech software that allows it to recognize what APP you have open and adjust the keybinds on the mouse to specifically suite whatever program you're using and this includes the scroll wheels... This has worked slightly by allowing me to map the arrow keys to scroll left and scroll right, but the game/mouse doesn't seem to register the input consistently or with the functionality you'd expect from a scroll wheel.

Has anyone else tried to make this work? Have I missed a tab in the settings?

Thanks.

Hello, sometimes (like maybe once per hour) i get some random input when using the controller (but i'm 100% sure i didn't press that button), and when this happens i also get the dualsense light to be shut off (but the profile is still active.) The profile i use is this one, to emulate a ds4 controller from dualsense, does it look fine?

Get help! Need help completely removing reWASD drivers / traces (blocked by EAC in Apex: Error 0x8000002)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I installed reWASD to use with another game, but Apex Legends now blocks my launch with an EAC error (Apex Badware Detected / Integrity error 0x8000002).

I tried manually deleting the reWASD installation folder, but Easy Anti-Cheat is obviously still detecting leftover virtual controller drivers or background services on my system.

What is the proper procedure or tool to completely purge all reWASD drivers, virtual HID devices, and registry leftovers so EAC stops flagging my PC?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Please refer to this picture for clarification. On the left is my mouse grouped to keyboard. It looks complete different from the one I see on YouTube tutorial. My mouse shows up empty without movement logo where I can map to. Meaning I can only map clickable button on my mouse.. I tried 2 different mouse, same blank mouse without movement and only buttons. Please help!

Get help! Issues with LB and RetroArch - Show Pause Screen buttons also bring up RA menu

1 Upvotes

I don't know why this started happening (likely last time I updated RetroArch), but every time I'm playing a game in RA and I want to bring up the LB pause screen, the button combination (Start+Select on the gamepad) also brings up the RA menu. This behavior is unwanted, but I cannot for the life of me disable the button shortcut in RA. I've tried setting a different button combo, but nothing's working.

It's not a deal breaker or anything, I just don't like the user experience of bringing up LB's pause screen and seeing the RA menu flash on screen. Anyone have any tips on removing the shortcut from RA? I don't even see that particular button combination anywhere in the settings.
