OmniControl vs Universal Control Remapper

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.

Universal Control Remapper (UCR) is a free, open-source Windows application for routing physical device inputs to virtual outputs. It can connect any number of inputs to any number of outputs, including analog input, and supports devices such as keyboards, mice, joysticks, racing wheels, and Tobii eye trackers. Listed outputs include Xbox 360 and DualShock 4 controllers, DirectInput controllers, keyboards, and mice; provider documentation also names Titan One, 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse, and MIDI devices. Nested profiles can be switched by external programs using command-line parameters, and remapping and device order persist across reboots and unplugging. Plugins can add input and output transformations, while device providers can extend compatibility. The project says UCR uses no injection and is compatible with games that use anti-tampering technologies such as Denuvo. Some providers may require technical setup, command-line use, and administrator rights to install drivers; additional drivers may be needed for virtual Xbox or DirectInput controllers. UCR is labeled Alpha, and the project warns of bugs, experimental features, and settings files that may not work across versions. Its latest listed release is v0.9.0 Alpha, dated 2020-01-02.
