Handheld Companion

Handheld Companion is a free, open-source Windows app for handheld gaming PCs, with touch-optimized controls and device settings. It maps controller inputs to keyboard, mouse, joystick, trigger, or virtual controller actions, including Xbox 360 and DualShock 4 output. Universal Motion Control translates supported motion sensor data for aiming, camera control, racing, and emulators. QuickTools adjusts TDP, frame limits, refresh rate, resolution, brightness, volume, and power mode. The app can detect the active game and apply saved controller, motion, graphics, and power preferences automatically. Listed device families include ROG Ally, Steam Deck, Legion Go, MSI Claw, AYANEO, and GPD Win. Steam Deck support applies to Windows 10 or 11 installations; this is not a SteamOS application. The free public release costs nothing for Windows 10/11 on x86 and x64. Installation requires administrator rights to deploy services and drivers.
