Razer Tartarus Not working with Tflight Hotas 4

Hi all! I've got a Razer Tartarus V2 that works fine on its own, and I have a TFlight Hotas 4 Joystick combo that also works well on its own. But when I plug them both at the same time, the Razer overrides the Hotas and it doesn't work at all. The PC sees it as a game controller, but when I open it, it opens it as if it were the Tartarus. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated? Already uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. Wanted to use this combination for Mechwarrior 5.

I've seen a couple people with similar problems - they suggested going into device manager and disabling the HID-Game Controller. I have done that, but the PC still doesn't see the TFlight Hotas when the Razer device is plugged in.

You should uninstall the HID drivers so Windows can get proper drivers. By disabling it, you completely removed the computer's ability to support the device. Does the Tflight Hotas 4 work properly if you unplug the Tartarus?

Yes - if I unplug the Tartarus the Tflight Hotas 4 works fine

Do you plug them both into a USB hub? There shouldn't be any conflict unless both have HID drivers.

They are both plugged in via USB - not via a hub. however, they T.Flight Hotas uses HID drivers and the Tartarus uses them for the virtual joystick. I'm trying to figure out how to get them to stop conflicting because the Tartarus overrides the Hotas.

The thing is, there shouldn't be any conflict. HID drivers shouldn't override another HID device driver as they have different device ID tags. For example, if you plug in controller one - the device driver should be HID but if you plug in another controller, you should see HID then HID(1) or something like that. Does Mechwarrior 5 have multiple controller support?
