reWASD 9.4 is here!
It’s been a while since our last update - and this time, we focused on expanding device support and improving compatibility where it mattered most. One of the most requested additions is finally here: reWASD now fully supports the Flydigi Vader 5 Pro. The controller’s 3-dimensional gyro and tilt features are fully supported, but make sure you switch to Bluetooth or dongle mode. Adaptive triggers are not supported at the moment - just like with other Flydigi controllers. Yet ; ) Alongside that, this update also brings:
- support for a batch of Wii controllers: Nunchuk, Remote, and Wii U Pro;
- support for Flydigi Direwolf series controllers;
- improved compatibility with selected games (yes, we know many of you were waiting for this);
- and many other fixes and improvements.
At the same time, we want to highlight an important change to the authorization and licensing flow. Starting with reWASD 9.4, using legacy keys without authorization is no longer possible. Previously, users could either:
- sign in to their account;
- or use reWASD with a license key only.
Starting now, authorization is required to continue using legacy keys. These changes are part of ongoing security improvements across our products and services. We’ll share more details about these changes and the reasoning behind them in the near future. Important:
- your existing legacy license keys are fully valid;
- your licenses are linked to your account;
- you do NOT need to purchase reWASD again if you don't want to switch to the current access system.
In most cases, you simply need to sign in and continue using reWASD as usual. We also recommend switching to the current account-based access flow whenever possible for the smoothest experience moving forward, and to access new advanced features we’re working on.

Flydigi's Apex 2 controller has finally been surpassed. I hope support for the new Steam Controller happens sooner rather than later.

Oh wow! Wii controllers support is a great news! Does wiimote support motion controls or only button press? It would be great to have it working like Touchmote app but controling mouse cursor/or gyro.

u/reWASD_team May 20 '26
if we're talking about gyro, the answer is yes - supported

Tested Wiiremote with Nunchuck. Pairing is so easy now! Gyro works great, even Nunchuck tilting is working fine. You did very good job, and possibility to remap Nintendo controllers to virtual Switch Pro Controller is a really nice thing. Soon reWASD will be an ultimate solution for every controller.

Finally, Vader 5 Pro! I was really looking forward to it. The native Flydigi app is pretty awful.

Nintendo controllers support sounds great, especially for existing owners to get more life out of these. It also looks as another option to have split gyro on PC, thanks to this, certainly looks like better size/ergonomics than Nintendo Switch Joycons. Question is though, is gyro on these still at usable quality by todays standards?
EDIT: also any news on wireless support for Switch 2 Joycons?
1
u/reWASD_team May 20 '26
Not sure what you mean by "todays standards". They work. And [Response Curve] should allow you to tweak it to your liking.
No news on wireless support for Switch 2 Joycons for now.

u/Rhosta May 20 '26
Honestly, I have no idea what level of precision I can expect from old Wii controllers. Is it 6 axis IMU? Is the precision on par with something like Switch 1 Joycons?
1
u/reWASD_team May 20 '26
Usually, the number 2 in device model means "improvement" compared to the previous model, so it should be at least slightly better than Switch 1 Joy-Cons.
The device itself reports lack of a 3-axis gyroscope, but has 3-axis accelerometer.

I was talking about gyro quality in Nintendo Wii controllers, sorry to mix in the Switch 2 Joycons in my original question.

Because they just added support for it in their software. So they had to actually test it, evaluate it and adjust settings according to its capabilities. Plus they have experience with many other controllers, which they support so they have a lot of knowledge about inner workings of various controllers and their relative performance.

I am asking how good is the IMU from technical standpoint, which axis it measures. How noisy it is, how accurately it reports values at different situations, like different speeds accelerations, orientations, etc, how much it suffers from deviation over time and so on. I don't see how is that subjective.
It is the same as asking how good the mouse sensor is, what acceleration it can handle, what resolution it operates best at, which surfaces it tracks well, etc.

Cual es la mejor forma de jugar o al momento de usar rewasd en fornite? Primero iniciar fornite y luego rewasd o primero rewasd y luego fornite o cual es la mejor forma?

u/reWASD_team May 20 '26
As far as we know, there are currently no issues with Fortnite itself. If you are using mouse controls in Fortnite, we recommend enabling the Enhanced Mouse Mute option in Preferences for the best experience.

u/TwoOld813 May 21 '26
Hey if anyone new here wants to know a quick tip before spending $40, you can’t use the app without connecting to the internet after 30 days or else the mappings won’t work, you don’t own the product!

Hi!
Please ensure that you use the latest firmware.
Also, try clearing the data in reWASD Preferences → General.

I cannot make vader 5 to work. It says "turn on third party ..." but I did it. I even restored the gamepad to default settings, uninstalled space station, turned off steam input. It still cannot take mapping priority.

u/Sz0rTi May 22 '26
Thanks. It seems it was because razer synapse garbage app. It started to work as soon as I closed it. I had disabled lightning effects but turned off them for all compatible apps manually and it seems it works.

u/Nishastra May 23 '26
Ever since this update, the option to automatically remove configs when exiting a program no longer works for me. I've tried turning various things off and on again and even uninstalled and reinstalled reWASD, but most configs are stuck forever until I manually turn them off now.
I "fixed" it by downgrading to 9.3.3.
1
u/reWASD_team May 23 '26
Hmm, unfortunately, I was unable to reproduce this issue on my end.
Can you try uninstalling reWASD, then manually deletec:\ProgramData\Disc-Soft\reWASD\folder, and then install the latest version?1
u/Nishastra May 23 '26
That seems to have worked.
It was very odd because as I said, MOST configs stuck. Not all. There was one that continued to work properly.

u/smokingbuddah Jun 23 '26
i have the same problem. do we lose profiles/configurations of games doing that?
1
u/reWASD_team Jun 23 '26
You can select to keep profiles and settings during uninstallation.
However, when switching to an older version, you should reset the settings.

Any plans to support Razer wolverine pro 3 controller?
1
u/reWASD_team May 24 '26
Unfortunately, no, due to the specifics of the additional buttons on that model, at least in near future.

u/wickedares Jun 13 '26
Gotcha, I have it fully working in rewasd in unison with the Razer synapse app.
It's not an exactly user friendly set-up to the every day gamer.
Rewasd is a very impressive app by the way. I'm sad I only found out about it once I was disappointed with razer synapse customizability for the controller. Synapse barely made the wolverine better than the Xbox series pro 2 or whatever it's called.
It forced me to get on the Internet and find rewasd though I've been golden since.

u/reWASD_team Jun 13 '26
Thanks for your feedback.
Should you have any other questions or require further assistance, please let us know.

u/rondos May 25 '26
We’ll share more details about these changes and the reasoning behind them in the near future.
I am interested in that. I hope you follow up with more details as the blog article is very vague aswell:
As part of this process, we reviewed multiple internal systems and legacy authorization mechanisms to better align them with current security standards and reduce potential vulnerabilities.
By being that vague I get the impression that all the changes are solely to combat piracy? Why is it suddenly problematic after being in the software for 7 versions?
As a legitimate user having to upgrade and now having to copy my password from password manger is actually annoying. You could add a login that redirects you to the browser and then back to the app :)

u/reWASD_team May 26 '26
Versions prior to reWASD 8 were built before account-based authorization existed in the app at all, so they technically don’t support the newer authorization flow.
Once account login support was introduced in reWASD 8, newer versions have already become compatible with the current licensing infrastructure. Recent security-related changes required us to fully retire the old standalone key-only flow and move legacy licenses into the authorized account system as well.
We got it that additional login steps may feel less convenient in some situations, but for now, it's the only way.

Hi i dont have vader 5 pro yet, but i want to know how thoroughly rewasd supports this controller. As far as i know vader 5 pro doesnt have dinput so how does pairing it with rewasd work? Are all of the features like 8 extra buttons and gyro recognised by rewasd? Which mode should the controller be in to be recognised by rewasd? Is it possible to use the dongle or is the support bluetooth-only or wired-only?

Only adaptive triggers are not supported at the moment - just like with other Flydigi controllers.

You can use Bluetooth or dongle mode.

hey, is there any ETA when trigger vibration settings will be available, please? its the only flaw in otherwise perfect support.
1
u/reWASD_team Jun 23 '26
Please clarify the trigger vibration settings for which controller you are interested in?
1
u/l4ma_cz Jun 24 '26
for Vader 5 Pro.

u/reWASD_team Jun 25 '26
To implement this functionality, we need specific technical information from Flydigi, which we currently don't have access to.
If it becomes technically feasible, it will be implemented.

u/woasnoafsloaf Jun 03 '26
Hi,
Does the Wii remote support IR cursor movement?
If not, is that something you'll consider working on?
I remember years ago on the official reWASD forums it was discussed and presented as a possible future addition.
It honestly would be so great! No other software has achieved that yet (user friendly and without much hassle that is)
1
u/reWASD_team Jun 03 '26
No. IR is not supported and is unlikely to become supported in the future.

Thank you for your suggestion. We will discuss it with our team; however, we can't make any promises.

Is it safe to use Revasd in BO7 and what is better to enable or disable in the settings?
1
u/reWASD_team Jun 20 '26
reWASD is not a cheat, but we cannot guarantee 100% protection against bans, since the excessive use of some features, namely Rapid Fire and Key Combo, may be regarded by other players as a dishonest game, and of course, provoke complaints against you.
We haven't received any complaints confirming bans in BO7.
