SC Controller is really coming along nicely. Since I mentioned it on GOL it has been through a few new releases.
Recent releases have added in:
- Radial menu
- Button cycling
- Added udev rule that enables read and write access to controller and uinput module
- Added context menu with copy & paste options
- Added options for changing OSD colors and on-screen keyboard colors
- Added option to set different action on double-clicking and holding button
And more! This application is really coming along well and will be extremely useful, it's pretty incredible what they have achieved already!
While you can use the Steam Controller outside of Steam, this makes it incredibly easy to bind all the controls properly and actually enable it to behave like a gamepad. This project means you don't even need Steam if you plan to use the Steam Controller on other devices.
I'm actually thinking about picking up a third Steam Controller to exclusively live in my bedroom which I'm turning into a crappy mini-cinema, so this driver and GUI is going to be very useful to me. The wireless aspect and the programmable side of the SC make it such a wonderful device.

Great tool!
I hope that it will become cross-platform, including Android. I tried the SC on Remix OS and it can only be used as a mouse and a few keys ... but they cannot be remapped :( and most games don't support keyboard and mouse anyway... If I could activate the XBox configuration, they would probably play just fine.
It would also be nice for Windows because Windows Store apps cannot be added as a non-Steam game to Steam, so the SC cannot be used for them... but I don't personally need this much, if at all.

Quoting: devlandYou can use the steam controller outside of steam, right?That's the point of this project, yes. Normally, the Steam Controller will only function as Keyboard+Mouse emulation outside of Steam. This project opens up most of the functionality of the controller, outside of Steam.

Awesome this looks fantastic.
I love the steam controller so far but some things really annoy me: like why can't it recharge its AA batteries from USB?

I've installed this as well and must say that this project is essential to playing games outside of Steam. It's also handy if you still have some games that you want to play under Wine.

It doesn't? I thought it did have that feature... :(
It really wouldn't be a good thing if you put in regular alkaline batteries.

I hope the author still plans on working on it?
