potomax Posted February 4 Report Posted February 4 Hi ! I've been using the Flirc GUI v.3.27.16 and I'd like to change the duration of a keypress. Is that possible ? Example : I've paired a button with the "A" key. And when I press the button only a single A appears in a text editor. But trying some games with it, the key press duration is too long and triggers 2 in game a presses. Anyway to change that in a config or something ? Thanks Quote

Thanks This is really dependent on the operating system. It's usually referred to the key repeat time. The game might be overriding it because the flirc shows up as a keyboard, no reason otherwise it would have a different rate than the OS. Let us know what you find. Quote
potomax Posted February 5 Author Report Posted February 5 Thanks for the answer @jason But I don't think it's that I used this site to test it : https://www.clickspeedtester.com/keyboard-latency-test/ When I use my physical keyboard, the duration of the press is usually around 70-80ms (q key in the screenshot) But when it's triggered with flirc, it's always 192ms minimum (a key in the screenshot) So the keypress triggered by flirc is 2.5 times longer than my regular key presses Quote
potomax Posted February 5 Author Report Posted February 5 Of course, here it is. Thanks. flirc-potomax-wasd.fcfg Quote
jason Posted February 6 Report Posted February 6 I see a couple things. Can you tell me if you see the same results with the left arrow and the right arrow? Quote
potomax Posted February 6 Author Report Posted February 6 Yep same result. For every arrow the minimum duration is 192ms Quote
jason Posted February 6 Report Posted February 6 How about the other keys recorded, 's', 'w', etc. Can you also go to file->advanced, and then enable IR debugging. Press and hold the right arrow, save and send that here too. Quote
potomax Posted February 6 Author Report Posted February 6 (edited) I sent s and w in screenshots in the above answer. Same thing. In the log, I pressed the right key 3 times without holding and then I held it for a couple seconds Log right arrow.txt Edited February 6 by potomax Quote
jason Posted February 6 Report Posted February 6 It looks very strange. Are you super close to it? Make sure to aim at the ceiling if you are. Also, batteries could be low on the remote. It's not getting clear signals. Quote
potomax Posted February 7 Author Report Posted February 7 I tried various angles and distances and battery change and it's always the same. But, isn't it your software that translate those signals into a virtual keystroke. Can't something be parametrized at that level, adjusting the virtual keystroke ? Because other than the length of the press everything is working fine, it's pressing the right keys at the right time. Quote
