About SC Controller
SC Controller is a user-mode driver and input mapper for game controllers on Linux, with a GTK 4 graphical interface. It supports the Steam Controller, including both the 2015 and 2026 models, and other gamepads such as DualShock controllers.
This is a maintained fork of the original project. It ships default profiles and on-screen menus, and suits Linux users who want Steam Input style remapping without running Steam.
