- Custom configs for Nvidia Shield Controller can be found in official Community Configs Library maintained by reWASD users. It's placed in Stadia/Xbox Series X/DualSense filter.
Linux
- This controller is "Plug and Play" on most distributions of Linux.
- Xboxdrv is an alternative to the stock driver and allows many configuration options.
Steam
- Can be recognized as Xbox 360 controller but after manual reassignment. Controller cannot be found in Supported Controller Database, so Steam recognizes it as standard DirectInput device.
