Open Source C# Game Controller Software for Windows

If you have an older or not supported game controller (gamepad, wheel, joystick, etc.), but XBox 360 controllers are supported you can use this software and enjoy gaming with your controller. XOutput is a software that can convert DirectInput into XInput. DirectInput data is read and sent to a virtual XInput (Xbox 360 Controller) device. XInput is the new standard game controller input on windows, and DirectInput can no longer be used with Universal Windows Platform software, but with this tool you can use DirectInput devices as well.

DualSenseX is an open-source utility that brings advanced control and customization to Sony DualSense and DualShock controllers on Windows, offering functionality that goes far beyond the native drivers. The application allows gamers to tailor every aspect of their controller experience, including adaptive trigger behavior, haptic intensity, and light bar customization, which empowers users to fine-tune feedback to match the feel of their favorite games. It also provides real-time battery monitoring, gyro/accelerometer calibration, and remappable button layouts, giving players hardware flexibility usually reserved for premium third-party software. DualSenseX works with both Bluetooth and USB connections, automatically detecting compatible controllers and maintaining stable input even during intense gaming sessions. Additionally, it includes profiles and presets so users can save and switch configurations quickly for different games or genres.

The program contains a C++ console application showing all connected XInput Controllers (e.g. Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller) and their battery status. A GUI, written in C#, displays the battery level of the controller of your choice in a tray icon. The GUI refreshes every ten seconds. If you do not like the design of the icons, you can simply replace them by your own version. The C++ programm uses the Xinput 1.4, so it should work fine with Windows 8, 8.1 and 10.
