Frequently asked questions

A Windows app that sits between your controller and your games. It reads any supported pad, lets you remap and tune every input, and presents a clean virtual Xbox 360 or DualShock 4 to whatever you are playing, so a game that only likes one kind of controller happily accepts yours.

DualSense and DualSense Edge, DualShock 4 and 3, Xbox Series, One, 360 and Elite Series 2, plus generic HID gamepads. DualSense extras (adaptive triggers, gyro, touchpad and lightbar) are supported over USB. Meta Quest Touch controllers work too, on Quest 3 and Quest 3S over Link or Air Link: the pair arrives as one gamepad, and you switch it on once from the Meta Quest page.

OmniControl builds a virtual controller and drives it from your keyboard and mouse. Mouse movement is converted to aim-stick motion through a model of the game's own curve, and a short calibration lines the feel up to your real mouse. It works on games that keep reading a controller in the background.

It can, in a game whose rules forbid it. OmniControl contains no anti-cheat evasion. The pack catalog includes keyboard-and-mouse packs for online first-person shooters, and a publisher can detect keyboard and mouse played through a virtual controller and penalise your account for it. That risk sits with you as the player, not with OmniControl, so check a game's rules before you play it this way.

There is a free tier that covers reading, mapping and tuning your controller. Pro unlocks emulation (virtual Xbox and DualShock 4 output) and the advanced feature set. You can subscribe to Pro monthly or yearly and cancel any time, or buy Pro Lifetime once; see the pricing page for the current plans. You can also try Pro free for 2 hours: one trial per person, no credit card needed, and it ends on its own.

Three at a time. If you replace a machine or reinstall Windows, remove the old device from your account dashboard and the slot frees immediately. There is no waiting period and no support ticket. Worth knowing: Windows regenerates a machine's identifier when you reset or reinstall it, so the same PC can come back looking like a new one.

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Emulation needs the ViGEmBus driver, which is a separate one-click install from the Drivers card inside OmniControl. The app installer does not include it, so if you ever reset Windows you will need to install it again from there.
