Not all game controllers can be enabled or disabled easily, which can lead to issues. If multiple devices are connected, some games may receive unintended input from several sources.

NoJoy is a relatively simple application that lets you turn these devices on or off from a minimalistic user interface. It is very easy to use and can come in very handy, but this is still an early version that may not offer support for certain devices.

While certain devices, such as the Xbox One controller, can be turned off with the press of a button, others have to be unplugged or disabled from Device Manager, which is far from an ideal solution.

With this utility, however, you can see every controller that is connected to your PC and disable it with a single mouse click. If you’re looking for a simple way to turn devices on or off, this program will certainly do the job.

The UI features a very simple design, with a single window where all the detected devices are listed. There is a small button below each icon that can be used to turn them on or off.

However, it would have been nice if it were possible to send the application to the system tray. Since some users may need to switch between devices frequently, being able to keep the program running in an unobtrusive manner would be great.

It is important to note that the developer has not specified which game controllers are supported, so it is possible that the one you are using won’t be detected. Until we get more information, however, just go ahead and try it out, as it doesn’t need to be installed before use.

NoJoy is a small, handy utility that makes it much easier to manage multiple game controllers. It needs a bit more polish, however, and it is unclear which devices are supported at the moment.

What's new in NoJoy 0.3.1:

  • Fix version string. This release is otherwise identical to 0.3.0.
  • 0.3.0 will be removed from release lists.
