Talk:Game Controller Support in Linux
QinHeng Electronics Foot Pedal Configuration Alongside USB Game Controller.
When the foot pedal is connected, it causes trouble. QJoyPad shows a USB joystick with 75 buttons and analog axis. This for a single pedal foot switch. The QJoyPad interface is broken and extends beyond the boundaries of the screen. The spacing between buttons is wrong. None of the detected buttons respond to foot pedal press.
In the brand new default configuration the QinHeng Electronics Foot Pedal's internal chip also creates a false keyboard device that send only the letter 'b' to the computer via HID control.
Step #1 - program the damn foot pedal without Microsoft Windows to change the letter marcro from 'b' to whatever you desire.
Step #2 - disconnect the foot pedal, connect the usb game controller, and hide it from games using evdev API (such as Steam) so we can customize with QJoyPad. Also, the game controller must be js0 for QJoyPad to treat it correctly so it works with Steam or some other popular games. That is why we want the game controller connected first and assigned js0 in /dev/input
Step #3 - connect the foot pedal, and hide it from Joystick API so that QJoyPad won't detect it and cause QJoyPad to break.
