The Driver Station has the capability of 'locking' a USB device into a specific slot. This is done automatically if the device is dragged to a new position and can also be triggered by double clicking on the device. 'Locked' devices will show up with an underline under the device. A locked device will reserve it's slot even when the device is not connected to the computer (shown as grayed out and underlined). Devices can be unlocked (and unconnected devices removed) by double clicking on the entry.
Note: If you have two or more of the same device, they should maintain their position as long as all devices remain plugged into the computer in the same ports they were locked in. If you switch the ports of two identical devices the lock should follow the port, not the device. If you re-arrange the ports (take one device and plug it into a new port instead of swapping) the behavior is not determinate (the devices may swap slots). If you unplug one or more of the set of devices, the positions of the others may move, they should return to the proper locked slots when all devices are reconnected.
Example: The image above shows 4 devices:
- A Locked 'Logitech Attack 3' joystick. This device will stay in this position unless dragged somewhere else or unlocked
- An unlocked 'Logitech Extreme 3D' joystick
- An unlocked 'Gamepad F310 (Controller)' which is a Logitech F310 gamepad
- A Locked, but disconnected 'MadCatz GamePad (Controller)' which is a MadCatz Xbox 360 Controller

In this example, unplugging the Logitech Extreme 3D joystick will result in the F310 Gamepad moving up to slot 1. Plugging in the MadCatz Gamepad (even if the devices in Slots 1 and 2 are removed and those slots are empty) will result in it occupying Slot 3.
