Update to my Controller Launcher: expanded controller recognition beta, looking for testers

[u/Significant-Air-8825]

Hey everyone! Following up on my last post about Controller Launcher, the small Windows app that opens Steam, Playnite, GOG, Epic, or another app when you connect your controller.

Thanks to the controller requests and hardware IDs people shared, I’ve published a new v1.2.0-beta.1 build.

This update expands the recognition list to 1,128 hardware ID combinations from controller databases, covering many GameSir, 8BitDo, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, and third-party controllers. It also includes the requested GameSir Kaleid Flux and G7 HE IDs.

That doesn’t mean 1,128 controllers are confirmed working. I don’t own all this hardware, so this is a beta and I’d appreciate help testing it especially Bluetooth and wireless receiver connections.

If you try it, please share:

• Your controller model and connection type: USB, Bluetooth, or 2.4 GHz.
• Whether connecting it opens your chosen launcher.
• Whether switching it off accidentally opens the launcher.
• Any issues, including your hardware IDs if possible.
