Prevent programs from detecting peripherals?

[Fannon]

I have a complete flight setup. TrackIR 5, Saitek Pro Flight Rudders, Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog (Joystick and Throttle).

The problem I am having, is many of my games I play are recognizing the setup. This in turn makes my characters/avatar/ingame menus move on their own accord, and the only way to stop this is to go into device manager and disable the setup. Unplugging it doesn't even stop it, I have to disable in device manager.

I've looked in the settings of many of these games and there are no options that even show the joystick keys as being bound and have no option to disallow the use of a gamepad.

Is there anyway I can keep my flight setup from being recognized by certain programs?

I'm sure that this isnt the answer you were looking/hoping for, but personally I'd put all the controllers onto a single USB Hub, being careful to find one that has its own on/off switch.

I do have a USB hub with it's own power cord and on/off switch. Problem is if I turn it off, they still affect the game. As I said in my post, even if I unplug them all, they still affect the game as if they were connected. I have to disable each device before it stops affecting my programs.

Any other ideas?

Still need help with this.
