I could use some help in assigning the different joystick buttons to control different functions of my moving head lights. I'm using a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick. My moving head lights are a Chauvet Tracker Spot 150, 2 Chinese 15 channel LED Spots, 2 Techni-Lux Tracker Spot 250's and 2 ADJ Innopocket Wash

When I use the joystick to move he lights in the X-Y axis (Pan/Tilt) with the Twist function as soon as I release the joystick the lights snap back to their starting position. If I use a mouse or my finger on the X-Y pad to Pan and Tilt the lights stay in the last position I moved them to

You could try to set the movement of the joystick as "relative" in the input profile.
