Wii docs: scope the Windows-pairing limitation to the native wizard Reword the blanket 'Windows cannot pair a Wii controller' statements in Home, Wii-Controllers, and Devices to scope the limitation to the Windows pairing wizard, which expects a typed PIN. Avoids implying PadForge is the only tool that can pair Wii controllers (reWASD does in-app Wii pairing since v9.4).

Document 3.4 features: Remote Link, Wheel, Controller Audio, MIDI Input New pages for the four 3.4 headline features. Add a 3.4 What's new section and nav links on Home. Cross-link from Force Feedback (native wheel FFB), Devices (MIDI input cards), and Driver Management (MIDI input needs Windows MIDI Services). Audio page states the mirror is a Windows-output loopback, not game-audio packet interception, and that DS4 audio is Bluetooth-only. Remote Link page states local-network-only with no built-in internet path.

Wiki: drop stale 'Last updated for PadForge 3.2.0' footers (22 pages) Every page on the wiki carried a '*Last updated for PadForge X.Y.Z.*' italicized footer hard-coded to 3.2.0. With 3.3.0 shipped, those footers become a lie on every page that wasn't actually re-audited for the new version — bumping them to 3.3.0 wholesale would just swap one lie for another since most pages haven't been touched since 3.2.0. Removing the footer entirely: git history of each page is the honest source of truth for currency. Wiki contributors who need to know whether a section reflects the latest behavior can read the page's commit log; no in-page label needed.

Devices + Web-Controller: link to new Touchpad page Devices page's Touchpads section now mentions the PTP-no-click caveat (matching the auto-map behavior) and points at the Touchpad page for per-slot configuration. Also notes the two other touchpad sources (web + overlay) that feed the same config surface. Web-Controller's Touchpad layout section now mentions that the phone's surface drives the per-slot Touchpad-tab features (mouse / stick / D-pad / gestures), not just the bare DS4 touchpad button stream.

Wiki sync: drag-reorder rebuild logic + DS4/Microsoft identifier renames User-facing: documents the profile-aware drag-reorder behavior on the Dashboard. Active controllers in a group constitute their own ordering; the kernel rebuild fires only when an active VC's relative position to other actives changes such that a profile mismatch results. - Controller-Slots: new "What rebuilds on reorder" subsection. - Dashboard: drag-reorder paragraph extended with one-sentence summary. - 3D-and-2D-Visualization, Devices, Profiles, Macros, Troubleshooting: residual Xbox 360 / DualShock 4 family-name leakage replaced with Xbox / PlayStation in user-visible prose. Web-controller layout slugs and specific HM profile names left as-is. Dev pages: reflects the v2-era identifier renames in code that landed in 005ef8e + dc5b9fd: - Architecture-Overview, Settings-and-Serialization, Virtual-Controllers: MaxDS4Slots -> MaxPlayStationSlots. - ViewModels, XAML-Views: DS4Count -> PlayStationCount. - Services-Layer: rewrote SwapSlots / MoveSlot entries + added a new RebuildKernelOrderAfterReorder subsection covering the simplified single-pass live-subsequence comparison (replacing the older ShouldRebuildKernelOrder predicate). Also corrected a stale Xbox360 enum default in the CreateSlot row to Microsoft (the actual preserved enum identifier). - Input-Pipeline: cross-reference added to the Services-Layer reorder section since kernel-allocation rebuild lives in InputService. Preserved: VirtualControllerType.Microsoft enum value, MaxXbox360Slots constant, [XmlArray("MicrosoftSlotOrder")] attribute string, web layout slugs, ControllerModelDS4 / ControllerModelXbox360 class names, asset folder paths, HM JSON vendor "Microsoft"/"Sony" filter strings, all genuine Microsoft.Win32 / Microsoft.Windows.Devices.Midi2 / registry references.

Restore correct family-name terminology (Xbox / PlayStation / Extended, not Microsoft / Sony — those enum identifiers exist purely for v2 PadForge.xml back-compat per the in-source enum comment). User-facing pages (Home, Dashboard, Controller-Slots, Devices, Settings, Driver-Management, Troubleshooting, Force-Feedback, Web-Controller, 3D-and-2D-Visualization, 2D-Overlay-System, Installation, Stick-Deadzones, Trigger-Deadzones, Input-Precision): - vJoy slot type, "vJoy driver limit", and vJoy install steps removed - Troubleshooting: "vJoy Phantom Controllers" section deleted (v2 N²-bug, doesn't exist in HIDMaestro), other vJoy sections rewritten for HM - Force-Feedback: HID PID 1.0 framing for Extended; new Sony Report 0x01 rumble passthrough section - 3D-and-2D-Visualization: PlayStation touchpad preview (live finger spheres) and click-to-map TouchpadClick documented - 2D-Overlay-System: touchpad highlight visual spec (sampled colors) - Web-Controller: DS4 layout button-11 collapse for TouchpadClick Dev pages (Architecture-Overview, Engine-Library, Build-and-Publish, HIDMaestro-Deep-Dive, Input-Pipeline, SDL3-Integration, Services-Layer, Settings-and-Serialization, Driver-Installation-Internals, ViewModels, XAML-Views, Virtual-Controllers, Button-and-Axis-Mappings): - Stale Xbox360VirtualController / DS4VirtualController / ExtendedVirtualController / VJoyRawState references replaced with the v3 unified HMaestroVirtualController + ExtendedRawState - Step 5 prose updated to HMContext.SubmitState / SubmitRawReport with Sony Report 0x01 passthrough - HIDMaestro-Deep-Dive: HM 1.1.x → 1.2.0 - Services-Layer: false claim that Extended slots reset to "Microsoft (Xbox 360) gamepad preset" replaced with the actual behavior (ProfileId = GetDefaultProfileId(type), Custom "PadForge Game Controller" for Extended) - Three broken [[vJoy Deep Dive]] links retargeted to [[HIDMaestro Deep Dive]] - Virtual-Controllers gets a top-of-page editor's note flagging it for a full hand-rewrite (the deep sections still describe deleted v2 classes) Microsoft references kept where they are real: NuGet package Microsoft.Windows.Devices.Midi2, registry paths under SOFTWARE\Microsoft\, ".NET runtime download from Microsoft", literal VirtualControllerType.Microsoft enum-value citations, MaxXbox360Slots constant name (preserved from v2), [XmlEnum("Sony")] attribute string, OpenXInput Microsoft-trademark disclaimer.

Bulk v3 terminology sweep across remaining wiki pages (23 files) Mechanical s/// pass on the names that don't depend on architectural context: ViGEmBus -> HIDMaestro, ViGEmClient -> HIDMaestro SDK, VJoy -> Extended (the C# enum value name appearing in narrative text), 'DirectInput (vJoy)' -> 'Extended (HIDMaestro)', 'Xbox 360 / DualShock 4' (slot type pair) -> 'Microsoft / PlayStation', etc. Pages already hand-rewritten upstream were left alone (Home, Installation, Driver-Management, HIDMaestro-Deep-Dive). Virtual-Controllers got the same pass since it's a central reference. Caveat: many of the deeper architecture pages (Driver-Installation- Internals, Input-Pipeline, ViewModels, XAML-Views, Engine-Library, etc.) still describe v2-era *implementation* (vjoy.sys SetupAPI device-node creation, ViGEm.Client P/Invoke surface, etc.). The TERMINOLOGY now matches v3 but the IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS in those pages are still v2 and need a follow-up content pass to reflect the HIDMaestro SDK surface, the OpenXInput shim, the HM thread-pool lifecycle, the bubble-up cascade, etc. See HIDMaestro-Deep-Dive.md for the v3-correct version of that material.
