Wii U pro controller button IDs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This isn't really a *problem* but it's something that causes problems with 
other software that doesn't recognize button ids greater than 19 (specifically 
Steam). The Pro Controller buttons start their numbering at 6 according to what 
is reported by software (I would guess because the Wii doesn't distinguish 
between buttons and axes except by id, and ids 3,5,9,10 are reserved for other 
functions?). Since OS X is obviously capable of distinguishing, would it be 
possible to renumber the buttons so they stay under the id 19 limitation?

Yes, it's known problem (Steam like a pain :) ). I'll fix it in next WJoy 
release.

It has been almost a year since this was posted, when will this be arriving? I 
have waited for a long time for a solution and I'm glad work has gone in! 
Please notify me when this will be available as I really would like to use my 
Pro Controller on my Mac. Thanks!

Hi there. I commented in another issue, but if you can point me to where the numbering is stored, I'd be happy to try and fix this.
