 - Several gamepads can play as the same controller, for example a wheel and its pedals.
-- A button still held when a gamepad starts playing does nothing until it's let go.
 - A phone that drops off the network no longer keeps a connection to the PS4 open for ever. Before, enough of

 - When two people pick controllers at the same moment, one is asked to try again, instead of one taking the
   other's controller.
 - A controller the console refused input for recovers once it accepts input again.
-- The page only asks for the PS4's address when it was saved to the device and opened from there.
-- The address box takes a full address, such as `http://192.168.1.20:4264/`, and adds `:4264` when it's

 - A touch on the touchpad that the browser cancels no longer clicks it.
 - Keys with Ctrl, Alt or the Windows key can't be chosen any more: they never worked in play.
 - The app on the PS4 says when the Control4Free running is a different version from the app, and how to switch.
   It tells a missing auto-start copy apart from auto-start being off.

 ## Profiles
 
-A mapping is saved as a profile, named in the **Name** box. It's used for every gamepad of the same kind in this

-The **Profile** list switches between your profiles and the **Standard layout**, which can't be changed.
+A mapping is saved as a profile, named in the **Name** box. Choose that profile for each connected gamepad
+that should use it. **Save** updates every connected gamepad already using that profile; the editor lists
+the others affected. **Save as a new profile** branches a profile for only the selected gamepad.
+The browser remembers the last saved profile choice for matching device IDs, mapping types and input
+counts when a gamepad reconnects. The **Profile** list switches between your profiles and the
+**Standard layout**, which is immutable: editing and saving it creates a named profile.
 
 The **⋯** menu has **Save as a new profile**, **New empty profile**, **Back to the standard layout**, **Export to a
 file**, **Import from a file**, and **Delete this profile**, which asks you to press it twice. A profile made for a
 different gamepad says so: press **Fit it to this gamepad** to drop the inputs this one doesn't have.
 
+Imports open as drafts and do not overwrite an existing profile. Review bindings and calibration before
+**Save**, especially after fitting a different device. Missing inputs must be removed or corrected.
+Profiles use browser storage under `c4f.gamepadProfiles`; export them as a backup. Invalid data falls back
+safely, and a storage warning means changes will last only for this session.
+
 Several gamepads can play as the same controller, for example a wheel and a separate set of pedals: pick the
 same controller on both rows.
 
+## Advanced profiles
+
+Export a profile, edit its JSON, then import it for review. The file has
+`format: "control4free-controller-profile"`, `schema: 1`, and a `profile` containing its ID, name,
+device signature, bindings and calibration. Unknown file versions are rejected. Unknown versions already
+in browser storage are preserved, with changes limited to the session.
+
+Bindings can use a digital or pressure-sensitive button, a full axis, its positive or negative half,
+a calibrated pedal, or a hat direction. Outputs are DS4 buttons, stick axes or directions, and L2/R2
+pressure. This permits button-to-stick, button-to-trigger, axis-to-button and axis-to-trigger mapping.
+Duplicate a binding with a different `output` to make one input drive multiple actions.
+
+Each binding includes `invert`, `deadzone`, `saturation`, `exponent`, `activate` and `release`.
+The response curve is a power curve with exponent 1 for linear response. Analog-to-button bindings default
+to 50% activation and 40% release to avoid jitter. Default stick bindings retain the previous transfer
+behavior through `legacy`; remove that property when opting into tuning.
+
+Centered-axis calibration stores `min`, `center` and `max`, including asymmetric ranges. Pedal calibration
+stores `released` and `full`, which may be reversed. For combined pedals, use opposite halves of the axis.
+Hat calibration stores `values` in the order neutral, up, up-right, right, down-right, down, down-left,
+left, up-left, plus a `tolerance` that separates those values.
+
+Inputs sharing a controller are merged: buttons use OR, triggers use maximum pressure, opposing digital
+stick directions cancel, and analog sticks use the strongest displacement. Equal opposing analog
+contributions cancel. Values are converted to DS4 bytes after merging.

 **A gamepad button does nothing after changing its mapping.** Let go of it and press it again: a button held
 down while a gamepad starts playing waits until it's released.
 
+**The Xbox button presses PS for another controller in Chrome or Edge on Windows.** The browser's
+Windows.Gaming.Input backend combines Xbox/Guide presses from several controllers and reports them on one
+gamepad. Other buttons can still belong to the correct gamepad. Check **Mapping → Gamepad Controls** on
+each device: if the wrong device's **B16** lights up, the browser has already lost the physical source.
+Control4Free cannot recover that source from the reported input. See the
+[Chromium implementation](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/refs/heads/main/device/gamepad/wgi_data_fetcher_win.cc#419).
+
+On Windows 11, newer Chrome builds offer an experimental **Windows GameInput** backend with
+per-device Guide-button callbacks. If your browser offers it, open
+`chrome://flags/#enable-windows-gameinput-data-fetcher` (or search `edge://flags` in Edge), set it to
+**Enabled**, and relaunch. Reconnect the gamepads and repeat the **Gamepad Controls** check: each Xbox
+button should light **B16** only on its own gamepad. Confirm both PS buttons after assigning controllers.
+This resolved combined Xbox/Guide reporting in a two-controller user test on Chrome 154 and Windows 11.
+Controller models and connection modes were not recorded, and other input and haptic capabilities were
+not revalidated. The option remains experimental; input counts and haptics may change. Compare
+**Gamepad Controls**, including any extra paddles, and review saved profiles after changing the backend.
+If gamepads stop appearing, return the flag to **Default**.
+See Chromium's [backend selection](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/refs/heads/main/device/gamepad/gamepad_platform_data_fetcher.h)
+and [per-device Guide handling](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/refs/heads/main/device/gamepad/gameinput_data_fetcher.cc).
+
+GameInput is a workaround for this browser's multi-controller Guide reporting, not a general
+Control4Free requirement. The controller page cannot select a Windows input backend or change browser
+flags through the [Gamepad API](https://w3c.github.io/gamepad/). A permanent correction to this browser
+path requires a browser fix; a future PC app could choose its own per-device reader. The existing mapper
+can also use an independently reported button for PS.
+
+In older browser builds that offer **Enable Windows.Gaming.Input**, open
+`chrome://flags/#enable-windows-gaming-input-data-fetcher` (or search `edge://flags` in Edge), set it to
+**Disabled**, and relaunch the browser. Reconnect the gamepads, select their controllers again, and check
+both Xbox buttons independently. This switches those builds to per-device XInput; extra paddles, input
+counts and haptic capabilities may change, so review saved mappings. The flag is unavailable in some
+newer builds.
+
+If these options are unavailable or the raw Guide input still crosses devices, try Firefox on Windows
+or map an independently reported button to **PS button**
+using **DS4 Mapping → PS button → Change**. That replaces the Xbox/Guide binding. Remapping or swapping
+controller numbers alone cannot separate the combined Xbox-button signal.
+
 **The gamepad does nothing.** Keep the page's window in front, press a button on the gamepad after the page
 has loaded, and check it has a controller under **Gamepads on this device**.
