usb joystick sensitivity

[Jake Scholl]

I finally got my usb joystick to work with my quadstick , however I don't like that I have to move the stick so far. Any way I can fix it? Do I go into External Pointers in QMP?

[Fred Davison]

Preference settings:

usb_1_multiplier_right

usb_1_multiplier_down
usb_1_multiplier_up

usb_1_dead_zone

Multiplier defaults are 100, dead zone default is 20.  Try dropping the dead-zone all the way to 0, then increase if it is drifting.

External pointers in QMP is for when QMP is relaying an Ultrastik or mouse plugged into a PC to the Quadstick.  Not when an UltraStik is plugged directly into a Quadstick.

I know the Brook Wingman can work with the Quadstick, but can the Brook Sniper work with the Quadstick? Would rather the Quadstick think my trackball is an actual Xbox controller. https://www.brookaccessory.com/sniper/index.php

[Fred Davison]

I'm not familiar with the Brook Sniper.  Do you know that the trackball will work with it?

Is this the trackball?  https://amzn.to/4e0BGHJ

Works with a model of trackball in the same series. Asking around on Amazon. Has the same receiver as my MX Ergo.  https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-M570-Wireless-Trackball-Mouse/dp/B0043T7FXE

[Jake Scholl]

Complete mouse list. No Ergo. I'll email Brook about Ergo. https://www.brookaccessory.com/sniper/compatibility.php

[Fred Davison]

I ordered one of those trackballs and a Brook Sniper.  I'll check them out.

The quadstick can often work with a mouse that supports "boot protocol", which is the USB protocol for simple mice.  Before a computer boots up its operating system, if it needs mouse support, like in BIOS settings, they use "boot protocol" for keyboards and mice.

It only supports basic mouse functions, but those are enough for us.

Awesome! Hope it works. (I posted the question on the Brook Sniper Amazon listing about whether or not the Logitech MX Ergo is compatible. )

Gotcha.

Brook Gaming responded to my Brook Sniper question.

[Jake Scholl]

Also the setup with the mouse for me would be mapping left shoulder button to left click, and right shoulder button to right click, and right stick to the trackball. I use the Xbox config.

[Jake Scholl]

Any updates on the Brook Sniper and MX Ergo trackball?

[Fred Davison]

The MX Ergo trackball seems to be compatible with the Brook Sniper.

The Quadstick in Dual Shock 3 mode is compatible with the Brook Sniper.

The Brook Sniper is compatible with the XBox Series X.

I could not get the Brook Sniper to work with a PC as a game controller.

If you are playing on a PC, the Sniper does not look like the solution to combining the Quadstick with a MX Ergo trackball, though it would work for consoles.

The MX Ergo was not compatible with the default Quadstick Host mode HID handler.  That trackball would require a custom driver for the Quadstick.

Awesome that it worked on a console! Bummer about the HID thing and not working on PC.

Do you think my Quadstick + MX Ergo idea would work with a Titan Two on a PC?

Do you know if this trackball works in the default Quadstick HID mode? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0877DK2FL/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?pd_rd_i=B0877DK2FL&pd_rd_w=TQuwS&content-id=amzn1.sym.be5cdf6a-f23a-4168-8100-e5595659876c&pf_rd_p=be5cdf6a-f23a-4168-8100-e5595659876c&pf_rd_r=4H4QTMZ3R1CAFP3A0QHS&pd_rd_wg=1kHpL&pd_rd_r=b5b72772-b0c0-4a22-aadc-71b0c898c61c&s=pc&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWxfdGhlbWF0aWM&th=1

Impossible to know without trying it.  Most likely it will not work without custom code.
