Controller priority?

[MarkJ]

Thanks for the lengthy detailed Reply Sokol1. I think you hit the nail on the head about another controller has a tiny jitter, enough to instantly register in CoD perhaps, as i know my pedals have a habit of doing that.
I will try some of your recommendations. I also found an older post that suggested manually editing the confuser.ini file to use the required controller and then 'loading' that in game, so will try that also once i have detected what controller ID is assigned to my stick.
