Miscellaneous Commands

There are a few other useful commands that don't fall under the above categories:

• RESET_MAPPINGS - This will reset all JoyShockMapper's settings to their default values. This way you don't have to manually unset button mappings or other settings when making a big change. It can be useful to always start your configuration files with the RESET_MAPPINGS command. The only exceptions to this are the gyro calibration state / settings and AUTOLOAD.
• RECONNECT_CONTROLLERS - Controllers connected after JoyShockMapper starts will be ignored until you tell it to RECONNECT_CONTROLLERS. When this happens, all gyro calibration will reset on all controllers. You can add MERGE or SPLIT to indicate whether you want all joycons under a single controller or separate controllers. The player LED will help you identify whether they are merged or split.
• # comments - Any line or part of a line that begins with '#' will be ignored. Use this to organise/annotate your configuration files, or to temporarily remove commands that you may want to add later.
• JOYCON_GYRO_MASK (default IGNORE_LEFT) - Most games that use gyro controls on Switch ignore the left JoyCon's gyro to avoid confusing behaviour when the JoyCons are held separately while playing. This is the default behaviour in JoyShockMapper. But you can also choose to IGNORE_RIGHT, IGNORE_BOTH, or USE_BOTH.
• JOYCON_MOTION_MASK (default IGNORE_RIGHT) - To avoid confusing behaviour when the JoyCons are held separately while playing, you can have one JoyCon ignored for MOTION_STICK related functions. Since we ignore the left JoyCon by default for gyro, we ignore the right JoyCon by default for motion stick. But you can also choose to IGNORE_RIGHT, IGNORE_BOTH, or USE_BOTH.
• SLEEP - Cause the program to sleep (or wait) for a given number of seconds. The given value must be greater than 0 and less than or equal to 10. Or, omit the value and it will sleep for one second. This command may help automate calibration.
• TICK_TIME (default 3) - The number of milliseconds to wait between between checking the state of connected controllers. Previous versions only sent new virtual keyboard and mouse inputs when there was a new message from the controller, but this made JoyCons clunky on a monitor with a refresh rate higher than 67Hz. Now, all connected devices are polled at the same rate, and you can change it here. The default of 3 milliseconds will give you a polling rate of approximately 333Hz.
• LIGHT_BAR - Set the DS4 light bar to the assigned color. You can assign either a 6 hex digit code precedded by 'x', three decimal values for red, green and blue between 0 and 255, or simply a common color name in capitals and underscore.
• HIDE_MINIMIZED - Some users like having JSM hidden in the notification area. You can hide JSM when minimized by setting this to ON. OFF is the default value.
• README will lead you to this document.
• HELP Will display a list of all commands, all commands containing a given string, or the specific help for all the exact command names given to it.
• CLEAR Remove all text from the console screen.
