Topic: Hercules MK2 "Enable DJ Mouse" problem

I've been working through the features of my new MK2 and really like the ability of mouse control using the MK2. However...

Using the DJ Mouse function seems to double up the funtion of the stick: it now works the pointer, but still scrolls the browser window independently at the same time.

And the left and right buttons seem to auto-cue tracks to deck A and B while at the same time acting like left and right mouse buttons. It's quite confusing.

Is there a function I should turn off when I enable DJ Mouse mode?

Thanks!

That really defeats the mouse functionality to not be able to turn off the track selection features. I push the stick to move the mouse up to edit the config, and the playlist browser also gets highlighted and browses to a playlist.

When I left-click to open the config(with pointer over the config button), it auto-loads the highlighted track (away from the pointer) to the left deck, prompts to stop the playing track, and opens the config all at the same time.

If I mouse over the cancel butten and left click, it cancels, but then also registers as if I'd clicked to load whatever happened to be highlighted then.

Does anyone understand the behavior I'm describing?

Unfortunately, the only option is to enable or disable scratching via the joystick...

I'm hoping someone has seen and solved this, or else I'll need to start learning how to map the midi funtions.

No No No go to the Hercules MK2 icon in the bottom of your screen when you have it hooked up, the settings are there not in VDJ. Happy Holidays.
