A rebuilt dashboard and tabbed settings
The dashboard was redesigned around what you do next, Settings moved into tabs, and Emulation and Keyboard & Mouse now state plainly what Pro unlocks while leaving setup open to everyone.
Highlights
- Rebuilt dashboard: your active profile, setup progress and quick actions in one place.
- Settings is now tabbed, and links from elsewhere in the app open the exact tab you need.
- Emulation and Keyboard & Mouse show what Pro unlocks up front, and both can still be set up in full on the free tier.
- Emulation now names every output it can present, including the GameCube and Wii controllers used by emulators.
- A Discord link is built into the app.
Fixes
- An idle Bluetooth controller can sleep again instead of being held awake by an animated lightbar, which was draining the battery.
Known issues
- An intermittent virtual-pad disconnect during long sessions is still under investigation.
OmniControl 2.1.2 is a housekeeping release. The dashboard was the main target: it now leads with the profile you have active, what is left to set up, and the actions you reach for most, rather than making you go hunting through the sidebar for them.
Settings was getting long, so it is split into tabs. Links from elsewhere in the app open the right tab directly, so a prompt about your licence takes you to the account tab instead of the top of a long page.
Emulation and Keyboard & Mouse are clearer about the free and Pro split. Both pages now say what Pro unlocks before you invest time in them, and you can still map keys, run calibration and build your whole configuration on the free tier. What Pro adds is the virtual pad that carries it into a game.
On Bluetooth
If you use a DualSense over Bluetooth, an animated lightbar was keeping the pad awake and draining it. An idle controller is now allowed to sleep. Wired connections were never affected.
