Any chance this is still on your radar?

I have a psychotic joystick encoder. It loves to spam on certain pins (left/right/up/down). It would be super useful if I could remap non-axis controls to move the cursor around and to select my emulator/games

For example, if I hold "left", and watch with evtest, I'll see a "left hat active", then axis 0 will report -127 then 0 then -127 then 0 and so on until I release the stick (then it will report a 0 on the left hat as well).

I've worked around this by wiring my microswitches to different pins on the psychotic encoder, but now I have to have a keyboard attached to my Raspberry Pi. Minor inconvenience, so I figured I would ask about it in this issue.

Cheers!

Short Answer: Yep.

Long answer: recently got back into working on the controller stuff. I got hit by this error the other day so now I'm looking into it. No idea on an ETA but it's on my radar.

Sorry to hear you got bit, but glad to hear it's on your radar. Thanks for 1) working on PiPlay 2) a fast response (and expectation setting) to my question!
