4K player looking to get into 7K here. My keyboard freaks out whenever more than a few keys get pressed, so I use an 8-button arcade stick to play mania. Native gamepad support doesn't let me map two of the buttons, because they're "triggers", so I need to use something like Joy2Key or Xpadder or I can't play 7K at all.

I've been using Xpadder thus far, but I've read that it and programs like it have a sizable amount of input lag, and while I can't say for sure (could just be confirmation bias) it feels like something's very wrong when I use it. Are there any arcade stick players around here? What do you guys use to make things work?

I used Xpadder with my Hori arcade stick for years while playing fighting games and never had any trouble with it, was able to input FRC in GG on netplay too...

osu also doesn't support 2 diffrent controllers as an input. Like assign controller 1 button 1 and controller 2 button 1 to two diffrent things. So I have to use xpadder too. There's a little lag (5ms-10ms) but nothing an offset can't fix.

See if theres any combinations that will work for you (shiftZX JKL tends to work on ghosting keyboards)
