Installation

Before installing, exit any competing controller management tools like Handheld Companion or Winhanced to avoid conflicts.

Tip

On a handheld, just run Install.bat. It auto-elevates, installs everything, and closes itself afterwards — no keyboard input required at any point. This is the easiest path when you don't have a keyboard attached.

Setup process:

  1. Extract the ZIP file to your chosen directory
  2. Run Install.bat with administrator privileges
  3. Confirm the UAC prompt
  4. Enable Gaming in Xbox Game Bar (Win + G)
  5. Locate and position the ClawTweaks widget on the left side
  6. Confirm the background UAC prompt on first launch
  7. Disable MSI Center M in the Main tab to unlock all features
  8. Enable Virtual Controller & Mouse in the Controls tab
  9. By default you can switch between Mouse and Controller mode with Start + Select

Important

No controller input? If nothing on the controller works and the left stick only moves the mouse cursor, the MSI Claw's hardware mouse/controller switch is in mouse mode. Hold the Start button for at least 3 seconds to switch it back to controller mode.

Note

Reordering widgets: remove and re-add them in the desired sequence to change their order.

The installer uses a self-signed certificate (CN=ClawTweaks Dev) with automatic trust handling.

What's New

New default design — "Next Gen Claw"

A fresh default look inspired by the upcoming MSI Center M quick-settings style: blue-glass tiles with a subtle diagonal sheen, glowing accents and themed metrics. It's now the default theme, and of course you can switch back to any other theme at any time.

New built-in actions

The action picker (for Custom Tiles, controller button combos and the Left MSI / front OEM button) gained two new categories plus media controls:

  • Program Actions — open the Default Browser, Microsoft Store, Chrome or Spotify in one tap.
  • Launch Website — jump straight to Exophase, RetroAchievements, Google, YouTube, the ClawTweaks Releases page or the FAQ.
  • Media keys — Next Track, Previous Track and Play / Pause.

All of these work from a tile, a controller combo, or the front button — even while the Game Bar is closed.

Your own .exe files, scripts and URLs

Add your own programs (.exe) and PowerShell scripts (.ps1), as well as custom website URLs, right from the System tab. They then show up in every action dropdown (marked (User)), so you can bind them to a custom tile, a controller combo, or the Left MSI button. Perfect for launching a specific game, a tool, or a little automation script with one press.

More themes

Several new themes to match your taste, selectable at the top of the System tab:

  • Claw Blue — the solid, pre-glass blue look
  • Box X — Xbox-inspired green
  • Nintendon't — red & white
  • Chrilleteur — violet & yellow

…alongside the existing Default, Dark, OLED, Dracula, Nord and Catppuccin themes.

Improvements & Fixes

  • Left MSI (front OEM) button now has its own dedicated card grouping the single-click and an optional double-click action, with a configurable detection window (default 220 ms) and a live "double-click detected" indicator for fine-tuning. The double-click supports both Keyboard and Action modes, just like the single click.
  • Installer now restarts/refreshes the helper after install, so new features work immediately — no reboot required.
  • Fluent System Icons across the navigation tabs and all default tiles for a cleaner, sharper look.
  • Fixed a widget crash that could occur when hovering/selecting a tile (a duplicate animation in the tile hover effect).
  • Fixed the crash that could occur after a game session ended.
