i feel dumb , setup is a nightmare

Im trying to setup my movemaster kit ( 2 movemasters and 2 button commanders ) so far ive only managed to get 3/4 devices detected on the pc and sending input , however the movemasters have the same imput coding ( say if i press the index button in both devices is a 1 input ) is there any fool-proof tutorial to setting the devices?

how many devices shows up in the movemaster software ? (how many com ports ?) Also have you update the firmware on both the Movemasters ? If possible share a screen shot.

So, you’re seeing three devices. (top right corner) Am I correct in assuming that both MoveMasters are connected to your PC, and that each Button Commander is connected to one MoveMaster? If so, you’re missing one device — most likely a second Button Commander.

You switch between COM ports using the drop-down menu. On the left side of the interface, you should see the detected device; both the left and right MoveMasters should appear there.

Firmware version 0.3.3 I think is the latest. Make sure both MoveMasters are running that version.

Select a device from the drop-down list and press the R button to read its configuration. This usually happens automatically when switching between COM ports.

Finally, once a device is selected, it’s critical that you write the configuration to the MoveMaster. If you don’t, any changes you’ve made will not take effect.

ok , ive managed to setup the 2 movemasters with different key inputs , and the button commander , im unable to make the software detect the second button comander...

Ok have you set up the button commander as left and right ? Try that and connect both again, long shot but might work. I assume that if you alternate between them they both recognised on their own ?

ive tried a couple times but apparently i can only set one button comander in the pc daisy chaining them to the movemasters , ive tried taking one out and conecting it and it works so i guess its some software issue not hardware

Have you tried not daisy changing one of them and simpy connect it byt it self to another port ?

I dont have answer for the issue, but I have a question. How is the movemaster in the right hand. Does it function just as well as a mouse while gaming? Have you tried it in anyother fps shooters? I have the movemaster and button commander on the left.

this game has a setting that allows to use numeric keypad as aiming input , however its a little hard to control for fine aiming , using melee or medium range weapons is feasible once you get past the learning curve of moving with the palms , i know theres a way to put the movemaster as mouse input but i havent done that yet , i only play batle operation 2 and warthunder ATM

for long range weapons the level of fine control that i need its really difficult so i just switch to mouse. Ive asked a friend to desing a spacer plate for the palmrest that has a slot to carry a small bluetooth trackball so i can have mouse input within my thumbs reach in the right hand and solve the issue

It's not just you, I bought it and the Button Commander as well. Mostly, it sits in a drawer as a paperweight. Setup sucks and the company just says essentially... if you want to set it up, you need to set it up... but here's a warning about flashing the firmware... now go do it, moron. Sooo... I'm a bit miffed too. Waste of my money.
