7. sudo pkill -f input-remapper-service && input-remapper-gtk -d, apply the preset and hit your key. Then share that log.
   Debug paste.txt

Look, it's too long, and pastebin wouldn't take it, so this was the 3rd best option.

8. sudo evtest while the previous command is running, to see how events are injected. Devices starting with input-remapper ... are of interest.

Basically, whenever I use an if_eq(), the key just stops working. Either it injects, but the original input is still registered (with the original mouse disabled on configs), or the key just stops working altogether.

For instance, if I use Mouse Button 6 + Mouse Button 4, it works flawlessly, but if I set Mouse Button 6 to hold(set(shift, 1).).set(shift, 0).disable and Mouse Button 4 with an if_eq($shift, 1, macro1 , macro2), it suddenly no longer works. I like the shift workflow, and there's a perfect button for a mouse-only shift on the G502.

WTF is going on with my input-remapper? I updated my system one day, and it no longer worked...

[BalaDeSilver]

Update: Creating a new profile and rewriting my macros worked, and it's working 90% now.

The only thing is that I have volume up and down on the scroll wheel, but only when the (I'll call it Gshift) is pressed, and it has a disable after:

if_eq($shift, 1,
	key(KEY_VOLUMEUP).
	disable
,
	wheel(up, 120).
	disable
).

and

if_eq($shift, 1,
	key(KEY_VOLUMEDOWN).
	disable
,
	wheel(down, 75).
	disable
).

And even with the disable there, it's still letting the scroll input go through, even with the direct mouse disabled and only the virtual mouse on.

At least stuff kinda works, ig... Still weird.

[TherinS]

In other posts, when people mention that the scroll function still activates even though they map the scroll wheel to something else, it is often because the scroll wheel has two outputs: a normal and a HI_RES.

This is mentioned in the official documentation. Look for the "wheels" section.
https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper/blob/main/readme/usage.md

Also, this post.
#1167

[BalaDeSilver]

It used to work flawlessly until I updated system.

if_eq($shift, 1,
	disable.
,
	
)

This doesn't work, and disabling the high res altogether disables scrolling altogether.
I'll read the linked posts tomorrow, it's 1:30 AM and I'm tired.
