| Privacy | The app uses pseudonymous opt-out usage analytics and says raw controller reports, typed text, mappings, scripts, quick text, and configuration are not sent as analytics. | Controller mappings, motion settings, macros, overlays and per-game profiles stay on the user's PC and are not uploaded by OmniControl. |
| Profiles | Profiles can switch automatically based on the active app, be imported from GitHub or Stream Deck V2, and be exported and shared. | Profiles save mappings, tuning, emulation, lighting, calibration and related settings, with unlimited profile storage. |
| Support | The page links to a Discord community and issue reporting and lists email support at [email protected]. | Discord is the primary support channel, while [email protected] handles account, licensing and purchase questions. |

OmniControl
OmniControl is a Windows desktop app for changing controller inputs and presenting them to games as a virtual controller. It can remap buttons, sticks, and triggers, read motion, and record macros. Emulation requires the separate ViGEmBus driver, which can be installed from the app. Supported devices include DualSense and DualShock controllers, Xbox models, Switch Pro, GameCube and Wii Remote through Dolphin outputs, Meta Touch Plus, Quest 3/3S over Link, and Razer Raiju V3. Its Game Packs catalog has ready-made setups for 251 games that users can browse and import for free. For PS5 Remote Play, it works with chiaki-ng using a virtual DualShock 4 and includes presets for about 60 PS5 games. Game Center scans Steam and Epic libraries, accepts manual additions, and links games to profiles for automatic switching. The free plan covers reading, mapping, and tuning. Insider costs $9.99/mo; Pro Annual costs $59.99 per year. The 64-bit Windows 10 and 11 installer is 48.1 MB and updates automatically.
