Request: Disable all local controllers upon connection

[d4maniac]

Hey!

I have quite a few peripherals connected to my pc, one of which is the Azeron Cyborg II. The Azeron regs as a xbox controller and creates some conflicts for other controllers. I also have a joystick that has similar issues.

Currently if I know that I am going to by using artemis i unplug these devices before heading out.

It'd be great if these could be disabled (preferably as an action before new virtual controllers are "connected").

What you're looking for is HIDHide.

This request is outside the scope of Artemis, nor Apollo.

You can use scripts to automate HIDHide, I think ChatGPT might be able to help.

One other solution is connect all your controllers over a hub, so you can disconnect them all and reconnect back more easily.

I appreciate your swift response ClassicOldSong. I've actually tried both (HidHide) and currently use a hub for this reason. Fully understand if you don't deem it viable or reasonable however I thought that perhaps a script that disables selected devices upon start up potentially is of benefit for more users than just I, even if it is a fringe request.

HidHide works locally but conflicts when I try to use it with Artemis.

There's nothing I can do here, device enumeration is done within Windows kernel and HIDHide is the closest thing it can get to now.

Or you may consider a powered USB hub, and cut its power using whatever method you can when a connection is established.
