Have you ever been in a situation where you were streaming game activity and wished you had a way to display gamepad combinations used while gaming? If the answer was yes, one application that does that, plus many other things, is Open Joystick. This application aims to provide a virtual representation of your used controller, an overlay highlighting all the actions done when gaming. It's very easy to use, and visually speaking, it's stunning.

The first thing that you'll notice is the number of options you've got by loading this application. You can choose the controller format you want to display when streaming and configure the buttons on the gamepad at the same time. The process is as simple as it is effective. There are many presets. No matter what controller you have, it will most likely have the input scheme for it already added to its lists. There are various indicators for analog movement, for example. This could help you determine if there is anything wrong with your joypad.

Open Joystick will work with any gamepad that's connected to your computer. If by some chance the used controller does not already have a preset button scheme, why not create your own custom one. You can create variants of an already accepted controller, too.

When used in-game, the overlay can be set to sit on top of whatever game you're playing. It will display a window with a representation of your controller, or just the buttons, lighting them up as they are pressed. The window itself can be adjusted. Don't forget, if you use separate computers for gaming and encoding you'll also need to grab the dedicated server app. It's a must if you want to make this app work on a separate PC game streaming setup.

Open Joystick is the application every controller enthusiast should consider having around, especially if they would like to better show the world how to achieve a certain result in a video game by using certain button combos. Give the app a test drive and see if it does indeed make explaining joystick actions on PC easier.
