Docked points for the device removal bug and lack of source transparency for the GUI layer.
[Advanced] DeadZone=0.25 AntiDeadZone=0.10 WheelSupport=LogitechG29 A race condition exists when a physical device disconnects mid-game. The virtual controller retains last known state, causing "stuck inputs" (e.g., permanent left drift). Workaround: Use Auto-Reconnect=1 and ResetOnDeviceRemoval=1 . 4.
