ControllerHubs

ControllerHubs is a family of hardware and software products designed to centralize input from multiple game controllers and other human interface devices. The platform provides a common configuration layer to map and route inputs to one or more host systems, enabling complex control setups without requiring per-device configuration on each host.

The hardware component consists of hubs with multiple USB ports, Bluetooth or Wi‑Fi radios, and a built-in routing engine. The software component includes drivers, a mapping and macro engine, and profile storage to persist configurations across sessions. Together, they support device discovery, real-time input multiplexing, and flexible routing policies.

Key features include per-device remapping, macro actions, key modifiers, hot-plug support, and cross-platform compatibility for Windows, macOS, Linux, and select mobile environments. The platform generally relies on standard HID approaches such as HID, XInput, and DirectInput, with an API for extending functionality through plug-ins.

Common use cases encompass arcade cabinets and custom fight-sticks, flight simulators, accessibility and assistive technology setups, and professional testing or research environments where synchronized input from multiple devices is required.

Development and governance emphasize local processing of inputs, secure device pairing for wireless connections, and signed firmware updates. ControllerHubs provides documentation and SDKs for developers to integrate with the mapping and routing engine, and a community ecosystem of profiles and extensions may form around open standards. The goal is to deliver low latency and predictable behavior across supported platforms.
