How to configure two separate CP into one computer?

Does the Auto-Censor really turn ---smurfette--- into smurf? Because that's offensive to Smurfs.

That is an absolute nightmare from a software reconfiguration standpoint.
As it stands, if I plug in my analog pedals (Logitech hack), and then my Star Wars Yoke (AKI), the Pedals register as Joy1, and the yoke as Joy2.
If I plug in the yoke 1st, it registers as Joy1, and the pedals end up as Joy3, due to the AKI containing two joystick connections.
This can be overcome to some extent by connecting things in a set order, but still shows up from time to time on me.
Throwing the SJC into the mix just complicates matters.

Odd - that's not how it was explained to me:
Assuming the AKI and Logitech hack use different devices ID's (and I would think they must) - then if you INSTALL the AKI first, it becomes Joysticks 1 and 2. If you INSTALL the Mouse Hack second, it becomes Joystick 3 (with the AKI still plugged in).
If you don't UNINSTALL anything, but just remove both devices and plug in the mouse hack it should be joystick 1, but if you plug the AKI back in, it the AKI should again be 1 and 2 and the mouse hack should drop down to joystick 3.
At least that's how it was explained to me.
Hopefully - urebelscum will comment on this. . .
BTW, I'm really not trying to argue with you about how your actual hardware works, but if your information is accurate, then I need to revise ALL of my webpages about this.

It may work that way, and I'm just not investigating in well enough
I'll have to study it a little more closely, and see.
As it stands, my biggest problems are:
1) The pedals swap ID numbers when used with a 270 wheel, and a 360 wheel.
2) The inputs reset P-1/B-1 to "Left CTRL or Mouse 1" if no Joystick is connected.

That's the problem I'm having with interchangeable panels. I may just replace the keyboard encoders with GP-Wizes and then I would always have a "joystick" plugged in.
