Using Switch Pro controller with Epic Games + DLC
I use BetterJoy when playing non-Steam games that don't natively support the Switch Pro controller. Works on other EGS games like Kingdom Hearts 3 and Hitman 3, so it might work with Outer Wilds too.

TIL you can combo GlosSI and RemotePlayWhatever to use Steam's Remote Play Together with Xbox PC Game Pass games
Or... You can use https://github.com/Ryochan7/DS4Windows for Sony and https://github.com/Davidobot/BetterJoy for Nintendo and https://github.com/parsec-cloud to do the very same thing without piggybacking on Steam at all, provided that it's also same to convince your friends to use your apps or my apps.

VPForce FFB joystick base not recognized + MP issue
Basically, looks like IL-2 will only detect first 8 usb devices. I have about twice as that number in the simpit. One solution is to unplug stuff. That ain't happening over here - if I have to unplug stuff I might just as well hire a minimum wage worker for that. Another option is to use devreorder u/charon-prime suggested or temporarily hide the unneeded devices with HidHide.

Input Lag With the ALP?
I've been playing with using XOutput + HidHide to cause Windows to see the the ALP controls as an Xbox controller instead of the generic device it normally appears as, and it seemed to significantly improve the input latency in FX. But there are other downsides and quirks that it causes, including problems actually launching the ball in some of the FX tables, so it might also end up being a non-starter.
