ROG Ally - How Do I Configure the Paddles for My Specific Needs? about g-helper HOT 5 CLOSED

@mufaaf hello, I don't know think you can bind PS button specifically. But you can make M1 or M2 emit XBox button instead (just set it to be a primary function in controller settings) and check if this is enough for Chiaki4Deck .

Oh, no. I can set either of the buttons to the PS Buttons, that's no problem. Chiaki4Dec has PS Button bind to the Esc key, which I have set to the M2 button and it works fine.

What I wanted was the following:

M1 button: works as 'T' on the keyboard (to emulate touchpad), but also as the button to execute GHelper shortcuts.
M2 button: works as 'Left Stick Click' on the joystick, but also works as the 'Esc' key to emulate the PS Button.

I am not sure how to set that up properly, or even if its possible. I see the Primary and Secondary fields but I don't know how to set it up properly.

@mufaaf I'm not sure if I'm getting you here.

Each of macro buttons (M1/M2) can act either as :

• "primary" when it emits specific button / action by itself, but any combos like M1 + A won't work
• "modifier" when by itself it doesn't emit anything, but works as a modifier with any other controller button. And combos like M1 + A emit "secondary" function for A button

This is how Ally controller is programmed on hardware / firmware level and both AC or G-Helper can customize only this options

Hmm, I understand now...somewhat. Basically, either of the M buttons has to be a "secondary enabler" and only then will the other secondary functions work.

I just mapped M2 to Left Stick Click and Esc using M1 as the enabler, and it worked. That solves part of the problem. I can make do with that. Thanks!

@mufaaf np, I personally use both M1/M2 as modifiers ("enabler" in your terms), and bind M + (something) to custom actions.

By default G-Helper already offers few useful M+ bindings including brightness controls listed here https://github.com/seerge/g-helper?tab=readme-ov-file#rog-ally-bindings
