Trouble Shooting
My Button Box isn’t showing up in Windows.
Solution – Restart PC
- If using a USB hub or USB extension , bypass and plug directly into PC.
- Try a different USB Port on PC.
- Try a different USB Cable. Advanced Users – Check in Device Manager to see if it’s being recognized by Windows. Device should show up as
ApexSimRacing_(Name of button box). Locate device, uninstall it and restart PC.
My Button Box doesn’t show all of the inputs working in Windows game pad tester.
-Some of our button boxes have over 32 inputs and Windows game pad tester only can see a maximum of 32 inputs
Solution – Use a different input tester or test in sim .
I’m having weird presses/ghost presses with buttons, switches or
toggles.
If using a USB hub or USB extension cable, bypass it and plug directly into PC
to see if that solves the issues.
Check for sources of EMI (typically DD wheel bases) . To test, turn off wheel
base to see if you are still experiencing issues with ghost presses.
