This program is actually invaluable for any person not using keyboard and mouse. For example, with some more advanced settings, you can make *each* button and stick direction on the controller do *two* different things if you sacrifice a single button to be a modifier key. For example, for Skyrim with an 8BitDo Ultimate controller, I made it so the D-pad is 1 2 3 4 by default, but if I hold a modifier key (L2 in my case but it can be any button), those same buttons become 5 6 7 8. Likewise, the Select button opens the map (M), but if I hold the modifier key, it becomes F, which changes between first/third person camera. I'll buy the software eventually because I can't play with a controller without it, even though it is somewhat expensive in my currency.
This helped me very much with easy skipping music but I have one problem with it, is there an option to use volume up for just one application? In my example it's spotify. Because when I bind volume up/down it works, but for whole system. Thanks
Thanks for the info Mr Beard, come in useful one day no doubt, i especially like the SNES button box. Racing around in the latest hard core most realistic as possible sim, with direct drive feedback and motion collecting shells.
Noob question. Im waiting for my seq shifter and Handbreak and looking into this to make things easy. Does this mean you run the Sim controller settings as a keyboard and JoytoKey emulates it to your sim hardware? Or do you keep the Sim controller setting as a wheel etc?
Hey sorry not exactly sure what you mean by sim controller settings, you mean the device or in sim? Basically in JoyToKey you set a key to each controller function, so for your seq shifter you could set downshift as A for example, then in each game simply set A as downshift. You do not need to assign the controller itself, that would confuse things as it would register two inputs. All the game need to know is that you are using keyboard keys. Hope that makes sense!
@@AdamsSIMporium in AC "combine with keyboard" needs to be selected. That's partly where my confusion was. All good now . Looks like PC2 and AMS2 you can combine keyboard and buttons in the same in game setting easy enouh. This is great and will suit my needs
I was wondering, how can i make the steering smooth? Because right now when i steer it steers instantly like i would be using my keyboard. Any ways to change that?
Do you mean you are trying to use JoyToKey for steering input? I don't know if it's possible to do do effectively, I have never tried. I use it for everything except any axis and h shifter.
@@AdamsSIMporium Hi, I'm having the same problem on Forza Horizon 5, I'm using an old ps2 wheel and everytime I turn, the car goes either full left or full right instead of turning gradually as you'd expect. Many thanks if you have a solution.
@@tiku78905 Using the wheel with JoyToKey? I've never tried using it for axis, only key/button presses. Obviously you can't assign your wheel to keypresses though, I hope you're not trying that lol ;)
@@AdamsSIMporium Right, I think thats what I was doing, its probably best to find something new thats compatible with my PC. The PS2 wheel was manafactured in 2006 😅
Does anyone know if there’s a way to bind an Xbox controllers buttons to my wheel input instead of keyboard strokes? I might have missed it in the video but I’m trying to set my handbreak and maybe shifting to my controller while using a wheel on games like forza but there is a delay when the game recognized any device change weather it’s keyboard or controller so binding to a key wouldn’t help
That's a tricky one, but you should be able to achieve it using Forza Emuwheel. It's very easy to set up and you would be able to have your wheel, pedals and a controller all together as if they are one device. It's what I use to play with my Simucube wheel, Heusinkveld pedals, BDH shifter, Aioliogs shifter, and USB SNES controller all together.
@@AdamsSIMporium I’ll definitely check it out, thanks! Especially after it being years since you posted this, do you happen to have a install/setup tutorial, or one you would recommend?
@@chancebih You can check out this guy... ruclips.net/video/3kX2lJEW5zU/видео.html He goes through it all, or even just the setup guide on the Emuwheel site explains things... forzatools.weebly.com/forza-emuwheel-setup-guide.html
@@AdamsSIMporium I just got it setup and it works great thank you so much seriously! I wanted this so bad in fh4 and fm7 and now I can play with basically anything, you’re amazing
Not sure, never used a Podium. Are the second paddles analogue or buttons? Also make sure you have the latest JoyToKey if you got it quite a while ago as they added support for more buttons. My Ascher stuff for example couldn't be mapped on the older version as they show as higher numbered buttons.
Hello I was wondering if you had figured out a way to assign up and down shifts to keyboard input in assetto corsa Project cars 2 is dead easy but assetto 😤 lol thanks
Yeah just assign whichever keys and on page where you have the little graph for brake input theres an option to tick combine with keyboard. All my sims including AC have Q and A and shifts, so all my rims have paddles recognised as Q and A
Thanks for reply It wouldn’t do it standard even ticking the box but it will through content manager 👍 coming from thrustmaster the is a lot to learn for OSW but it’s worth it
Strange, always worked for me no probs through Kudos launcher and CM. Well at least you got it sorted, Content Manager is pretty awesome. What wheel did u get?
Raging Beard I commented on your next level v3 video I wasn’t sure what way to go I ended up getting the 20nm one from sim racing bay as simtech racing and Sim-Pli city had no stock then for the rims I have 4 thrustmaster rims so sim racing coach makes adapters for them also a quick release very similar to yours although I’ve had bother copying your socket idea eventually I’ve found that Halfords 16mm 3/8s drive socket is perfect fit 👍
Yo I have a Logitech driving force gt but I it won't let me use the pedals while steering at the sametime it would cut off the pedals and would only work when the wheel is center so I'm coasting through the corners at a very low speed pleases help 🕵️
I have never heard of a problem like that before! Sorry I can't be of any help really other than to state the obvious and try reinstalling Logitech gaming software. Also check in USB Game Controllers if it does the same, or only in game. Good luck.
Thanks for the video but man its really hard to get any useful info out of the way you are presenting it. If you had hoped to help people use this software maybe try showing how to actually setup a profile for a game and how it works

Thank you now I can control spotify in the sim
how do you have it control something in the background
@kilianward7853 I mapped the buttons on my wheels to the Spotify skip and pause commands
@@zap_art.mp4 within the Spotify app? Or through the joytokey app?
This video helped me to play any racing game with shifters, while I wait for pedals, Thanks.
nice, this is very helpful. I can finally bind on my wheel to skip music and turn volume up. Nice

…and in the F1 games it obviously allows you to fool the program into thinking that you‘re using keyboard which makes it easier to drive…
Lol another little bonus
