Key bindings revert to default when device unplugged

Open JamesConlan96 opened this issue 11 months ago • 3 comments

I have the 12-key 2-knob version of the device and whilst I can program custom key bindings, they reset to default on loss of power (unplugging and re-plugging the device). I've seen a similar comment in another issue and wondered if anyone has found a work around? It reminds of me of Cisco switches where you have a permanent config and a running config and wondered if a command needs to be added to copy the running config to the permanent config.

until code changes get refactored and merged in, you can try using this tool. https://github.com/kamaaina/macropad_tool

@JamesConlan96 pretty hacky fix for now, try reconfigure it once on windows, with the original soft, then it should be solved (even while using this tool later on).

If you have wireshark, a dump of the usb traffic the first time you launch the official .exe would be super cool:)
