Keyboard Input Settings Dialog Box Closes Too Soon

[MarkyMarkUK]

Hi

When I click the three dots a dialog box flashes on the screen for a millionth of a second before I can press a button to assign a key.

Not sure what you mean (must be that I'm Dutch)

So the box is flashing, but takes a mi second begore it is working?

Or you not able to assign a button?

Are you talking about joy buttons or key buttons?

The dialog box flashes and then disappears before I can even see it properly or press a key. The same for joystick and button input.

Any chance you have a button stuck? that could cause that issue for key and joystick input screens if you have joystick to keyboard mapping software running.

That's a good question!

I'm not using software for joystick emulation or anything but I'm using an AtGames Legends Pinball connected to my PC and I'm wondering if the plunger (z axis I think) or the tilt axis (which constantly jumps around even when the machine is still) is causing it to accept that as an input?

However, when I press the 3 dots and the dialog flashes and disappears, a new button is not assigned, so perhaps that blows the above possibility out of the water.

I'm not familiar with the Atgames Legends pinball. Doesn't it has a sodtware part, where the plunger or nudges can be calibrated ? On forums I read (for my controller) to NOT use windows joystick to calibrate, but you can check which button is doing what

Or set a deadzone ?

In the worst-case, you can open pimballx.ini from the config directory and set the buttons manually.

Edit: Joyrider created the fx3 launcher. That package also contains a joystick tool that shows activity on your joystick. You can download and check that as well.
