Redirect Steam Input configurations to the system level, locally or across a network, with SISR.
About SISR
SISR redirects Steam Input configurations to the system level on localhost or over a network. It takes controllers received from Steam Input and forwards them as emulated Xbox 360 or DualShock 4 controllers, and can forward keyboard and mouse input over the network, so they appear at system level. It is described for use with software that does not support Steam Input, including games with aggressive anti-cheat, emulators, Windows Store games and apps, and games with broken Steam Input support, and for using a device such as a Steam Deck as a controller without streaming the game.
The project is described as highly experimental work in progress and subject to change, with expected bugs, crashes and missing features. Steam must still run in the background, and controller emulation uses VIIPER, which requires USBIP.
