Joy-Cons can now be two controllers instead of one. On a pair's page, Split Joy-Cons makes each
Joy-Con a controller of its own, held sideways: the stick on the left, the four buttons on the
right, SL and SR as the bumpers, and the shoulder button and trigger on the end free to assign.
Join Joy-Cons puts them back together. The left Joy-Con keeps the pair's player, so games see no
controller leave. This is experimental.

A face button, bumper or any other regular button set to a key or a macro now types it. Since
0.8.6 it did nothing. Two controllers can no longer swap players when one is shown to games as a
DualShock 4 and the other as an Xbox controller, as each ended up as the other kind. When another
program held HidHide at the wrong moment, a controller could stay visible to games twice, or
hidden. OpenController now tries again until it works.

Updating from the window and installing drivers no longer fail on a slow connection. Start with
Windows now shows as off when it was turned off in Task Manager, and turning it on here works
again. Settings that an antivirus held for a moment at sign-in are no longer replaced by the
defaults. Report a problem no longer includes the address of a Bluetooth LE controller. The window
does less work while a game is in front of it. Settings carry over.
