Controller Manager
Controller Manager is a free, MIT-licensed Linux daemon that remaps physical controllers to another protocol, such as presenting a Sony DualSense as an Xbox 360 pad. Each connected controller can be switched between native and remapped modes from the system tray. Identical controllers are tracked separately by stable device identity, so they can use different modes. Device-layer remapping applies across launchers and applications, including Steam and Proton. Tested families listed by the project include Sony DualSense and Microsoft Xbox One and Series pads over USB and Bluetooth. The tray updates when controllers connect or disconnect, and DualSense lightbar colors indicate native or emulated mode. A raw HID gate hides the source node in remapped mode to address double input. It requires a modern Linux desktop, a user systemd session, a StatusNotifierItem tray host, and write access to /dev/uinput.
