dinputto8
A dll module that is designed to improve compatibility in games using DirectInput 1-7 (dinput.dll) by converting all API calls to their equivalent DirectInput 8 (dinput8.dll) ones. This allows older games to be able to use newer tools and wrappers written for DirectInput 8. (by elishacloud)

Weird dinput/RawInput bug
Whenever I pick these in games I get this bug where the mouse is basically contained within a certain region of the screen and can't get past it. Happens in both virtual and regular fullscreen modes. One curious thing though is that by overriding the dinput dll with dinputto8 (https://github.com/elishacloud/dinputto8) completely fixes the issue on the dinput side of things which makes me wonder if it's a Wine issue. Anyone got any ideas what's going on? Here's a video showcasing the issue:

Seems like you found a solution but here’s another solution I’ve used, came in handy when Sekiro only recognised a controller in position 1, and when IL-2 only recognised the first 5 usb peripherals or something like that kinda problem. Per-game reordering and hiding with this devreorder

Thoughts on AMS2 after 1.4 update?
Set up the device re-order app I found on AMS2 forums located here to make sure the other peripherals weren't showing up ahead of the wheel/button box.
What are some alternatives?
