@mitu said in Assigning a Mouse to a Specific Device Node:

Feel free to experiment and report back your findings.

I'm trying to find out the systems normal behavior and trying to make sure I understand what you were saying - I'm not clear what you mean by "bump the indices." I do get that you've explained it, but I'm still not clear and I provided an example. I can experiment, but that will mean spending a few days working it out and, since it's a known behavior, I was hoping to start with a baseline.

So if I have my dev nodes as I asked about above:

/dev/input/event0
/dev/input/event1

But I'm finding those get switched if the USB plugs are switched, so I use udev to always create:

/dev/input/event50
/dev/input/event51

Then if I want to use event50, do I set the index in RetroArch to 50? Does RetroArch use the index numbers on the nodes, or does it just count the nodes and start at 0 and increment by 1 for each new node, in spite of whatever the index number on the node name is?
