To clarify, the only post of his I deleted was at his request. Message received, though!<br /><br />I agree on both products being so awesome that it's user preference that this point. For pure ease of use, I definitely prefer XPadder. Sometimes I feel like PGP is trying to do too much. But I haven't had any in-game problems with PGP, so it's the one I begrudgingly go with.SW_Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165270797749864321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7515389346420894167.post-74435294681169178092012-01-01T02:27:08.273-06:002012-01-01T02:27:08.273-06:00(also, using hot-swapping means you can use the de...(also, using hot-swapping means you can use the default hotkeys for all your commands, which is useful for those moments when you feel inclined to switch back to keyboard-mouse)SW_Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165270797749864321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7515389346420894167.post-51421692512771845682012-01-01T02:23:02.588-06:002012-01-01T02:23:02.588-06:00Drop, it's definitely a viable option, and I&#...Drop, it's definitely a viable option, and I'd considered such a setup before, but the bottom line is it limits the versatility of the profiles you're seeing here. For example, you need your right analog stick to simultaneously right-click and rotate, but there are scenarios where you want free mouse movement, and having a config to swap to allows you to simultaneously switch analog control and pull up additional abilities. And I've never encountered difficulties remembering where my hotkeys are mapped; quite the opposite, in fact. <br /><br />There are folks that use the type of setup you're suggesting, and use it well, but the bottom line is swapped mappings will always offer more options because they don't focus exclusively on the quickslots. As for software glitches, that's definitely a viable concern, but the only glitch I ever encountered with XPadder was a swapped mapping getting stuck when accidentally activated two mapping simultaneously, and I've never had any glitches with PGP.SW_Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165270797749864321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7515389346420894167.post-75655561995920053602011-12-31T23:40:23.252-06:002011-12-31T23:40:23.252-06:00I'm pretty ignorant of this whole thing, but c...I'm pretty ignorant of this whole thing, but couldn't you just bind the shoulder buttons you're currently using for map swap to modifier keys (ie one as shift, one as alt, and the other as ctrl)?<br /><br />The mechanical difference being you'd have to hold down the shoulder button at the same time as the modified face button, but you'd be less at the mercy of software "hiccups" and would always know exactly what a button press will result in (ie, you forgot which map you are on in the middle of combat and accidentally fire off the wrong ability). Or is that a non-issue?<br /><br />I dunno, it's what DCUO ends up doing for their native controller support and I think it works pretty well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7515389346420894167.post-35819284978477683752011-12-31T06:18:05.002-06:002011-12-31T06:18:05.002-06:00Okay, I replaced the links with updated versions. ...Okay, I replaced the links with updated versions. The PGP and XPadder profiles are essentially the same now. I left the L2 and R2 toggles open, as I haven't decided what I want to map to those on top of the hotswaps.

I abandoned the idea when I realized I couldn't set an "if held for x, then swap." But his configuration makes sense. The swap would only be temporary when you tap the button anyway.SW_Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165270797749864321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7515389346420894167.post-9231463396539683732011-12-31T05:22:31.511-06:002011-12-31T05:22:31.511-06:00Peeps Smiley has made an Xpadder tester profile wi...Peeps Smiley has made an Xpadder tester profile with many many features for use with making complex commands. I've been looking at this newer profile for Xpadder and some of the shift commands you've made although its working its not correct. Let me explain your profile with SWTORAgent; right shoulder, Back and Start button will work but the real itty gritty commands which is supposed to be there is not. I'm placing a link for you to download and look at smiley's Tester Profile and do a little analyzing to those commands to match your with his and it will be a perfect profile for Xpadder. Take it from me I know what I'm telling you. I've released this Tester Profile and the previous SWTOR for Xpadder on another download site so as others can get it.
