godotGem for Linux

godotGem is a Linux software that lets you use your Linux controllers as if they were Xbox 360 controllers on a Windows PC.

It works by connecting your Linux device and Windows computer over a network.

When you press buttons on your Linux controller, godotGem sends the same commands to Windows, making the Windows PC think an Xbox 360 controller is being used.

This is useful if you have games on Windows that do not support your controller well or if you have run out of USB ports for more controllers.

godotGem supports many popular controllers, including the DualSense (PlayStation 5), DualShock 4 (PlayStation 4), Steam Deck's built-in controller, Logitech Gamepad F310, Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, Steam Controller, and Xbox One controllers.

Other controllers might work if the godot game engine supports them.

To use godotGem, you need to install extra software on your Windows PC.

This includes ViGEm (virtual gamepad emulation software) and the godotGem server.

These allow Windows to create the Xbox 360 controller that matches your Linux controller inputs.

Note that godotGem depends on the godot game engine's ability to handle controllers.

If a controller is not fully supported by godot, it may not work properly.

Also, it has only been tested with certain controllers listed above, so some devices may not work.

Overall, godotGem is a good choice for Linux users who want to make their controllers work on Windows.

It offers a way to solve controller compatibility problems when playing games or when you have limited USB ports.
