First public build of WinDeck — a lightweight native C++ remapper that turns the Steam Deck's built-in controller into a virtual Xbox 360 gamepad, keyboard, and mouse on Windows.

Early development: expect rough edges and breaking changes, including to the profile format.

What's inside WinDeck-0.2.0-win64.zip

  • windeck.exe — the app (single statically linked executable, no runtime dependencies)
  • restore_neptune.exe — resets the controller to its factory settings if WinDeck ever exits abnormally
  • profiles/ — example profile (back paddles mapped to A/B/X/Y)
  • tools/ — HidHide and ViGEmBus recovery scripts
  • README.md, LICENSE (GPL-3.0)

Getting started

  1. Extract the archive to a writable folder (profiles and the log are stored next to windeck.exe).
  2. Exit Steam completely — it takes over the controller while running.
  3. Run windeck.exe. On first run it offers to install the ViGEmBus driver (official 1.22.0 installer, SHA-256 verified, one UAC prompt).
  4. Press the Steam button for the Quick Access Menu.

See the README for known issues and troubleshooting.
