Logitech G-13 (anolog stick+keys+mouse)

Post » Fri Nov 27, 2015 3:41 pm

So, I have a G13, and it's pretty awesome. It has enough keys for essentially everything you'd need (there's still some keys like T and stuff that are rarely used, for which I keep the keyboard near to hand). The only drawback with this game in particular is that the joystick support is all-or-nothing. By which, I mean that you can use just a gamepad (and the mouse/keyboard no longer respond) or use mouse/keyboard (and there's zero anolog control). I just want to be able to use the G13's anolog stick for anolog movement. Right now I have it bound to WASD, which works but kinda svcks. You can only move in 8 directions and the walk speed is full speed or nothing (a slight tilt to the stick behaves the same as a full tilt).

I know your hands are full with fixing bugs, but if there's a way to get an anolog registered for movement without having to lose mouse control (or even allow mouse control when the gampad is active), I'd sure like to know what it is.

(If someone wants a copy of my Fallout 4 G13 profile, I can share it later when i get home)

Thanks.

I have a G13 as well and if I remember correctly the stick is not like a game pad anolog stick. It only binds to button presses so it's either on or off, no in between.

I don't personally use it for moving, I use it for Macros.

Pro tip for scrapping, create the macro and it makes scrapping stuff 100x easier: http://puu.sh/lklNb/4deb8a8050.png

Thanks for the tip, but I've bound R to the button under my ring finger and E to the button under my middle finger (forget the button numbers), which makes scrapping very fast, just two quick keystrokes without requiring me to reposition my hand. The G13 does allow the anolog stick to be mapped as a joy stick, but, like I say, this game in particular doesn't allow the sort of "hybrid" concept of reading input from the anolog stick and the mouse/keyboard at the same time. I've gone through a lot of various tools like vJoy, which allows remappiing of sticks and axes, but since the game doesn't poll from any of these sources when not in "gamepad mode" it does me no good.

I'm all for WASD control, but anolog stick allows much more precision. Ideally the G13 allows the best of both worlds - anolog movement with mouse aim (as long as the game permits such bindings).
