How to turn off space pilot pro when plugged in?

Post by womp4life »

Does anyone know how to turn off the spacepilot pro when it's plugged in or at least turn off the lcd? I know I can toggle the display when it's directly connected to the computer, but I have the mouse connected via usb hub. When I unplug my master usb (which is from the USB hub where the spacepilot pro is connected to) from my computer, I can no longer toggle to lcd on and off. Only when the spacepilot pro sees the computer is when I can toggle the display.

Any help?

We dont provide support for hubs they dont always provide adequite power to the device.
You cant turn off the LCD it needs the command from the driver.
Are you using a powered hub, isnt there a power button to turn it on and off.
If its not a powered hub the hub may be retaining a charge that allows the device to stay lit .

Thanks. I'll just have to plug it in directly since there isn't a power switch on my hub.
