Software seems great, but lack of support simply kills this. It is a download page with instructions which do not help at all. When you go to developer's tutorial, you find it to be outdated where he installs his plug ins to a master folder. I follow his instructions until I install his plug in into a obes program.

I load this plug in successfully and then he casually asks us to direct program to graphical files for this plug in which does not exist! This plug in looks like something which I might eventually figure out how to install. However, developer offers abysmal technical support to people here and the only feedback from him is not supportive, but rather combative and defensive rhetoric back.

I'm sorry, but this thing ruins experience for so many people and I want to this to be made painfully clear. Why I must to spend hours figuring out how to solve something which should be easily done via help of an installer?

Have you tried following the instructions on this page? https://github.com/univrsal/input-overlay/wiki/Installation I've made it a bit clearer where to get the presets.
Thank U! Amazing!
I have an issue: When I'm using remote connection, the plugin only captures the inputs when the PowerShell window is on top, and does not capture them when the game window is on top. Any solutions for this? I will appreciate any help.
Keyboard presets work just fine on arch linux but the mouse presets crash obs studio. using v5.0.4
Doesn't actually seem to do anything. I've yet to find an instance in which this actually responds to keypresses or mouse buttons. It's just a picture you put in OBS.
been using this for years to retrace bugs or show off how i'm doing something to someone. fully customizable on keyboard and mouse, i made a preset that keeps the overlay invis until i press a key, and shows only the key being pressed.
Worked for a while, but recently doesn't seem to detect any input whatsoever. May not be compatible with newer version of OBS anymore.
Hello,
A great plug in, I will be using a lot... so I plan to. My only question is mapping of mouse buttons to regular keyboard keys. Currently I had to duplicate keyboard and crop individual letters to show the clicks from my mouse's extra buttons, such a "G" for wheel click, "R" for reload from one of the side mouse buttons.
Is there a way I can make some changes and replace ASCII code somewhere? or any other options to show those clicks on my mouse view instead of keyboard workaround. Extra mouse buttons, including wheel click is not highlighting.
It's not a game breaker, still nice options for me, and I will use it as is, but if there is a fix, please let me know :)
Thanks
Works like a charm with some great image presets. The DS5 controller version even works with the adaptive triggers. Pretty crazy and plug-and-play this was for me.
APPALLING!

The plugin itself doesnt work, it asks for an "overlay image file" and an "overlay config file". It doesnt come with any "default" options, in case you have no idea wtf it wants. It's just assumed whoever wants to use this is an uber-1337 coder who can figure it out.

Theres a video "tutorial" but its starts with just a finished product, and just a lot of talking, no showing from scratch how to set it up. A tutorial should start from the beginning and walk you through every single step. There is a "tool" to help apparently create presets, but no explanation of how to use THAT either. Again the tutorial starts off with a finished product so no good.

Raised as an feature/issue on github, and the dev replied to state that ANYONE WHO WANTS TO USE THIS PLUGIN IS EXPECTED TO KNOW HOW TO CODE HTML, JAVASCRIPT AND CSS!!!

To be fair your attitude is also quite appalling
Used this about a month ago, created the textures, exported the .jsons, loaded them up, everything worked fine.
Now the plugin asks for .ini files rather than .js? Something that isn't exported by YOUR tool. So until fixed cannot really recommend.

you're most likely using an outdated version
Absolutely phenomenal tool.
You can get really creative if you are smart in how you lay out and use the Texture file and layer multiple elements.

One thing i would love to have is a way to control mousewheel scroll Sensitivity. Or even better have a Scrollwheel counter element you can add.

Would even be open to donate or fund the development of this.
Sadly can't open your Profile or DM you.
Love this content. I'm a bit stuck on trying to customize a layout that works for my purposes (I have a layout in mind, but I am not good at the artistic parts of setting it all up) but other than my own failings this works fantastically with the OBS software and the instructional videos are very helpful and well made.
I love this plugin. I have used it before. But I just installed it again after not using it for a long time. I installed it exactly as you should but when I press a button noting is showing in obs. What can be the problem?

I've heard this from multiple people, but I really don't know what's causing it.
I program my own keyboard this night I have a lot of problems to indicate the program which letters have to use. I couldn't use what you do in your tutorial video

I couldn't put:

E.g: 2_key_order= Q,W,E,R ...

For this letters, I have to write: http://prntscr.com/jobdm2

2_key_order=0x0010,0x0011,0x0012,0x0013,0x0020,0x0021,0x001E,0x001D,0x0039,0x000F

I don't exactly know how to find this hex numbers because I extract from your templates to develop my own (For league of legends)

Anyways now is working and I love the plugin if you answer this question could be nice to make easy the experience to developers

In previous versions it was possible to write the letters, but in the newer versions you'll have to use codes from this page:
https://github.com/univrsal/input-overlay/blob/master/libuiohook/include/uiohook.h
For example to find the code for the key "W" you'd search for VC_W in uiohook.h
hello universallp I see 3 folders one that is data and one that is obs plugins and the other that says io client and there is a program do you know what that program is for

It's for people that use multiple computers when streaming. It sends inputs from one computer to another.
Awesome! I kind of wish there was a directory I could use so I can change the texture and layout. Also, some of the buttons won't work nor export correctly if you make your own. Other than that, I really like the plugin! It's fantastic and amazing and cool and awesome and....
Works as intended, you just need the image and config file. You can find these at the github page.
I'm very new to obs and just figuring out plugins. When I ran the installer everything seemed good and the overlay was in the plugins folder, but when I went into obs the overlay wasn't there. Where would I go in obs to find it?
I was wondering if this could be setup with a dual pc stream as well? To install it on the game pc and send the input over to the stream pc to preview it on stream.

Anyone knows if this is possible? If so, how?
