Feature request: option to disable the Huntsman V3 Pro virtual Xbox 360 controller

Zendule

The Huntsman V3 Pro always creates a virtual “Xbox 360 Controller for Windows” device, even when no keys are set to gamepad emulation. This virtual controller takes the first XInput / player 1 slot, so games pick up the keyboard instead of a real controller. In my case, STAR WARS: Galactic Racer wouldn’t recognize my wired DualSense until I disabled the virtual controller in Device Manager.

Synapse has no visible setting to turn this device off. Most users would never think to blame their keyboard when a controller isn’t detected.

Requested:

  1. Add a setting in Synapse to fully disable gamepad emulation and remove the virtual Xbox controller.
  2. Only create the virtual controller when at least one key is actually mapped to gamepad emulation.
  3. Make sure Synapse and driver updates don’t re-enable it after the user has turned it off.
