GAMEPAD COMPANION PS3 PC DRIVER

Like, for example, he has ‘switch monitor’ built into the app, so you can switch to your TV from the gamepad. This lets you do a ton of cool stuff if you’re creative. One nice thing in particular, is being able to map custom commands, like open a file. I use Controller Companion in combination with Xpadder.

It’s a con for obvious reasons, but it’s a pro, because if there are situations where you need all 3 gamepads to have certain mappings/commands, this is a quick and easy solution. The one caveat, that is both a con and a pro, you can’t customize profiles for each gamepad. Typing with a controller using that actually isn’t too terrible.Ĭontroller companion only works with Xbox controllers (or controllers that your PC thinks is an xbox controller). It has this spiral virtual keyboard that appears when you click the left analog. Plus, you can’t map anything to the Xbox/PS button.īut controller companion, with the one glaring omission of not being able to custom bind commands to the analog sticks, is reliable, intuitive, and has great functionality.

Xpadder is more reliable with a multiplayer setup, but has annoying quirks that you have to be become aware of and then work around. PGP (and now Padstarr) is great for a 1 player setup and clearly has the most options, but sucks (hard) at a multiplayer setup. I’ve tried various keymappers and they all have their flaws.

It works with Xbox 360 controllers, and PS3 controllers if you’re using the SCP driver (it’s the one you want). So I found this app, called ‘Controller Companion’.
