    vJoy drivers and this application are great!!! but after a lot of test I can´t find the right configuration for my needs.

    How can I disable/enable mouse X axis imput/binding only meanwhile I press a keyborad key?
    I'd tried playing with "boolean devices" and weird binding rules trying to build "conditional binding"; but I can't make the magic...

    There is some advanced function or trick to make this happen?

    If you insterested to better understand the scenario...
    I want to use this tool to generate a vJoy Z axis combining an actual physical joy RZ (logitech 3D PRO twist) plus mouse X axis for "fine tuning".
    The twist is not a precise input way.
    But the mouse itself is also used for "mouse-look" or other functions. Finally, I want to control with a button hold when the mouse X axis affects the vJox Z axis.

    Thanks in advance...

    Your task give me a challenge. In first look it seems easy. Next near impossible. And at end (using forbidden arts) I solve it!

    UB = Upper Border
LB = Lower Border
X  = Custom parameter

    Return Values of Boolean Device (Input Value)

    IF(A>B)  C=A-B
IF(A<B)  C=B-A
IF(A=B)  C=1
IF(A!=B) C=0

    Math Model for Range Control of value X
    IF(X<UB)AND(X>LB) THEN vJoy.X = X

    Transform

    IF(X<UB) Y = UB - X
IF(X>LB) ....
IF(X-UB>LB-UB) ...
IF(UB-X<UB-LB) ...
IF(Y<UB-LB) Z = UB - LB - Y = UB - LB - UB + X = X - LB
IF(X>0) ...
IF(X-LB>-LB) ...
IF(Z>-LB) R = Z + LB = X - LB + LB = X
IF(X<0) ...
IF(X-LB<-LB) ...
IF(Z<-LB) R = -LB - Z = -LB - X + LB = -X
IF(X=0) ...
IF(X-LB=-LB) ...
IF(Z=-LB) R = 0

    Result

    IF(X<UB) Y = UB - X
IF(Y<UB-LB) Z = X - LB
IF(Z>-LB) R = X
IF(Z<-LB) R = -X
IF(Z=-LB) R = 0

    Recommend to use UB = 1000, LB = -1000

    Start values of Boolean Devices:

    BDev1: Operand1 = 0, Operand2 = UB (1000)
BDev2: Operand1 = 0, Operand2 = UB-LB (2000)
BDev3: Operand1 = 0, Operand2 = -LB (1000)

    Sample Binds:

    //  X = MOUSE.X_Speed
MOUSE.X_Speed [Change] => BDev1.Operand1 [InputSet] 100% 

//  IF(X<UB) Y = UB - X   
BDev1.CResult [Less] => BDev2.Operand1 [InputSet] 100% 

//  IF(Y<UB-LB) Z = X - LB     
BDev2.CResult [Less] => BDev3.Operand1 [InputSet] 100%  

//  IF(Z>-LB) R = X    
BDev3.CResult [Greater] => vJoy.X [InputSet] 100%  

//  IF(Z<-LB) R = -X         
BDev3.CResult [Less] => vJoy.X [InputSet] 100%   

//  IF(Z=-LB) R = 0           
BDev3.CResult [Equal] => vJoy.X [Release]    

//  Turn OFF chain "Mouse.X_Speed to vJoy.X"               
Keyboard.Button_F1 [Press] => BDev1.Operand2 [Set] 0        
Keyboard.Button_F1 [Press] => BDev2.Operand2 [Set] 0

//  Turn ON chain "Mouse.X_Speed to vJoy.X"
Keyboard.Button_F2 [Press] => BDev1.Operand2 [Set] 1000     
Keyboard.Button_F2 [Press] => BDev2.Operand2 [Set] 2000

    Brillant!!!! you made hard work here! Thank you a lot for that.
    Finally yesterday I also found a config too and I was testing with success by now. I will test your config too!

    I figure out to use not one but two boolean devices, playing with operand values to control one "axis direction" each.

    I think you find a similar idea in your config. I will try you config to understand it better and test if shows "better binding quality".

    By the moment I see the diference that you use a pair of buttons to enable/disable the mouse binding. I played with press/release the same button to enable/disable, also combined with other real joy axis and, when you release the "enabling button", auto center the vjoy axis ( because when I combine mouse the with other phys axis could miss the vAxis center easily)
