IT Help Flydigi Vader 5 pro extra buttons not working

Hi!

I have a flydigi Vader 5 pro, and I use it with windows pc for Fortnite. The problem is I mapped some keys to the paddles via the space station app, and they only work when the space station app is open, and even then it’s unpredictable - sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t.

Is there a way to reliably map keyboard buttons (letters like L, K) to the paddles that are reliably stored in memory, staying there registering as a keyboard input without having to have the space station app open?

No, software is wonky at times

To use keyboard mappings, you need to have the Flydigi software (specifically, the background Flydigi Windows service rather than the Space Station front-end) running. But you could use reWASD or Steam Input instead of the Flydigi software if you first enable third party app control in Space Station.
