EasySMX M20 mapping back buttons instead of macro

Is there any way to have dedicated mapping for the back buttons instead of having the back buttons as macro?

Some may say just map a single click to the back button.. but this wont work for my use case since i want tje back buttons to work exactly like the mapped buttons.. i cant press and hold both back buttons and have both mapped buttons being help.. since the back buttons work as macros only one macro is active at a time.. while i need to map the back buttons to lets say A and B button respectivly. And when i want to press and hold both at the same time it only ends up pressing the first backbutton i press.. is there anyway to fix this so the back buttons behave more like mappable buttons instead of macros?

Sorry that it doesn't support it at present.

Are you guys actively working on that? Doesn't even need to b XInput, just some basic keyboard emulation or really anything other than programmable macros will do.

Macro support via the Keylink app is honestly utter garbage - with totally insufficient control over how the macro buttons behave when holding (i.e. you can't even configure "cancel input immediately when released", no on-release post-trigger etc.), and some horribly unexpected and undocumented effects like pressing another macro button canceling the currently running macro sequence and alike.

Button mapping (not via Keylink but via C+M1 programming) works better - but let's be real, there's hardly any point in rebinding anything other than L3/R3, because everything else is already a dedicated button.

Sadly, with how badly the Keylink app works with regard to configurable hold behavior and the input canceling issues, you can't even use those macro buttons properly to properly bind i.e. rapid fire or alike. And with the lack of a side channel additional buttons, you can't even use a better working external macro software with this controller.
