Always include a link to the spreadsheet when asking for help.    The problem is often something completely different than what the user thinks it is.

If the mouse pointer moves, the USB connection is functioning at 100%, as far as the Quadstick is concerned.  There will not be a situation where the mouse interface is connected and the keyboard interface is not, at the USB level.

There may be some software installed on your machine that could interfere with things later, but that is not under the control of the quadstick, and I don't know of anything that would do that.

On the zWOW, second mode sheet, these rows will not work correctly, unless the joystick dead-zone shape is square (0).

kb_wnormalup
kb_anormalleft
kb_snormaldown
kb_dnormalright

Use greater_than when connecting on/off digital outputs to the analog joystick, like was used on Main mouse, Arrows sheet:

kb_left_arrowgreater_than 50left
kb_right_arrowgreater_than 50right
kb_up_arrowgreater_than 50up
kb_down_arrowgreater_than 50down

It does not have to 50, a smaller value can work fine.

If you are having trouble with sips and puffs not being sensed correctly, make sure the mouthpiece and tubing is clean and clear.  I frequently get quadsticks sent in for repair that just have clogged mouthpieces.

The sip/puff red and blue LEDs follow what the physical sensors do regardless of any configuration.  If the lights turn on and off properly when you apply pressure or suction on the holes of the mouthpiece, the hardware is OK.  If the lights are slow to follow the changes in pressure, then there is a physical obstruction in the airway that needs to be cleaned out.

If the mouse pointer works, the USB is working 100%.  There is no separating the USB functioning between the mouse and the keyboard.   Any difference in the handling is inside the computer, not the quadstick. 

Try a different computer.

If the lights are slow to respond, the airway is blocked and needs to be cleaned.

There could be a lot of different reasons.  Are you sure you are selecting the correct configuration file?

You can display and print a list of the files that are in your quadstick's flash drive in QMP:

Get a list like this, with the LED pattern for each file when selecting different files:

These are the files I think are currently in your quadstick:


A default.csv file is not present.  default.csv is a required file.  I suggest you rename mouse.csv to default.csv using the Windows file manager, then restart QMP, print out the list of your config files.


A few days ago the file list looked like this:


All the file numbers will be different after those changes.

If you are going to be making wholesale changes to the configuration files, it is possible to make a backup copy of the CSV files to your PC so you can restore them quickly if things go haywire.

Isn't that the opposite situation from what you described a few emails back?
