Thank you; thats a much better solution than mine.

And keyboard works fine if you need it also

Can you explain what you mean by added a quick exception?

I have the same problem on the same game due to the same hardware.

I came up with a bulky solution, which is to launch a script that disconnects my keyboard for a bit; just to allow enough time to launch DS2. Then it reconnects the keyboard so normal function is resumed

Can you expand on your solutions so I can see if its better?

If anyone is interested in my super basic scripts, let me know and I’ll share them.
