    Sidewinder X4 keyboard profiles not switching automatically


    I've set up a profile with macro's for a game. The profile doesn't automatically switch when I launch the game, unless I launch Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Centre first. I can exit Mouse and Keyboard Centre before launching and it will switch profiles fine. Current solution is adding Mouse and Keyboard Centre to startup apps and exiting straight away. Is there a better solution? Keyboard is connected to an HP laptop running windows 10.

    :)
