Does this happen in V4 too or only in V3? MoI v3 uses a pretty old interface to the Space mouse while v4 has been updated to use a newer library which is better supported I think.

Yes, this is how it's intended to work by default anyway. There aren't separate roaming folders for V3 or V4, there's just one general one for all Moi versions.

If you want though it is possible to make MoI v3 and v4 use separate moi.ini files instead of sharing the same one. You could do that by copying the moi.ini file from its normal spot in appdata into the main installation folder inside Program Files. MoI will use a moi.ini file it finds alongside moi.exe first before looking for it in appdata. But you would also need to run MoI with elevated administrator privileges so that it could modify the file.

Or another method you can use is if you set up a path to a file ending with an .ini file extension as a command line parameter to MoI.exe it will use that file.
