I don't understand what you meant by scaled up with 512. From your own code: // Set the range for the axis DIPROPRANGE diprg; diprg.diph.dwSize = sizeof(DIPROPRANGE); diprg.diph.dwHeaderSize = sizeof(DIPROPHEADER); diprg.diph.dwHow = DIPH_BYID; diprg.diph.dwObj = pdidoi->dwType; // Specify the enum...

It is in range about -1400..+1400.
The values 1,2,3,4 is fairly hard to get.

Yes, but it scaled up with 512.
I have no idea about firmware but we have thousands of users and all your devices does fine except SpaceMousePro, which expected to be fixed when we will switch it to _REL.

No, it gives us correct numbers from 0 in usual DIJOYSTATE structure. All devices.

Thank you.
The only changes that SpacePilot Pro works fine in _ABS mode, we have many users on it.

The only one that we need is an official (tested, 100% functional) information for IDirectInput8 about NAME-PID-DIPROPAXISMODE for all range of your products.
Is that possible to get or no?
Thank you.

Yes, we use DIJOYSTATE structure to get the data from it. Do we miss something?

jwick wrote:_REL. OK. I'll go edit those incorrect posts....

Well if you look at my initial post, SpacePilot PRO does not work in REL mode, it works fine in ABS only...

jwick wrote:You do have to use DIPROPAXISMODE_REL for SPP, SMP, SN, SE and future devices.

So which mode do we have to use, ABS or REL?

It just rotates all the time even if the user isn't touching it.
Works fine in DI8ExamplePoll.exe example with DIPROPAXISMODE_REL.

Use DIPROPAXISMODE_ABS. (Correction (21-Mar-2013): use DIPROPAXISMODE_REL)

Thank you for that.
The problem reported by our user that it did rotation all the time (DirectInput only).
Do we need some additional settings for that model, or it's a bug somewhere?

What about SpaceMousePro PID? Does it work in _ABS mode or you have additional changes?
Thanks.

Okay, if we should check DIPROP_INSTANCENAME, could you list here the possible strings that will match to devices operating in old DIPROPAXISMODE_REL mode?
Thank you.

You can erase this topic due to it was solved in "DirectInput Programming Examples". Thanks!

That is! But do we need _ABS for SpacePilot only?
Can you provide an official information on that.
Thanks!
